    I don’t think local economies from millennia ago are similar enough to compare to modern global economies with our current population boom. I think we could for sure have a different approach if our population was stable or decreasing.

      worked fine for millennia without inflationary money

      That means until the early 1900s or 1970s when inflation went into overdrive.

      our current population boom

      Huh what?

        What a wide window, but I’d like to point out that the baby boomers generation happened right around this time.

        Huh what?

        Fertility rates and total population numbers are not the same thing.
