lemme simplify the inflation problem for u hoomans: there are rich hoomans and poor hoomans. they have different diets. the gov needs to balance the monies so that the rich hoomans AND the poor hoomans can stay on their diets

however because the diets share a lot of common production, the gov can't control them in insolation. plus the rich/poor hooman diets are always changing! so the gov has to balance between the threat of poor hooman riot and rich hooman capital flight

the poor hoomans do all the "real" stuff like cleaning the sewers and picking the almond trees. the rich hoomans do the "fake" stuff. but the "fake" stuff is money and money allows action to promise chain into and transform almond picking to transform into housing & pizza

without money no one would be picking almonds! there's no way to transform it into anything else. you'd have to homestead and survive purely on a diet of almonds

think of it like a big company having to make both the executives and the employees happy the employees do all the work but the executives find way to combine specialized employee skills into products the market wants

cater to the employees and everything works for a while just like an automated factory can survive for a very long time w/o management. but once market demands change or parts of the factory get damaged they r fucked w/o the executives
