Huh? I have a fair grasp of the cumulative effect since then (I&#x27;ve been alive the whole time!), I&#x27;m not saying it is low out of thin air, that period saw lower inflation than most of the 20th century. Maybe the difference is that I think invested assets largely follow inflation (even bank accounts), so that the primary effect it has is to make relative pricing more fair over time?<p>That&#x27;s fine if you think it shouldn&#x27;t be allowed to exist, but quoting quips is a dreary way to argue it.
