The concepts of "profit" and "interest" are also inflationary factors. Any time product or service sells for more than it cost (its intrinsic value), then prices go up. Charging rents on money (debt) increases dollar values without increasing intrinsic value.

Some services also don't create any intrinsic value, like healthcare (particularly end-of-life), insurance, and 'trading' stocks.


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
