So not having inflation is just as bad as having inflation? When there is no inflation, you can save your money without exposing it to risk, but when there is inflation, you need to "invest" your savings and expose them to risk just to keep the same purchasing power. This is the main point that the inflationists miss. Inflation also encourages debt because of the value of future payments.

I cannot understand how fashion can be taken into account when talking about politics. Why are words like communism or class-war so useless now as you cannot pronounce them in a political discussion if you want to be taken seriously. I am not stating a fact, I actually want to know if someone has any idea about the ridiculous relationship between politics (i.e. the way power is distributed and its ways) and fashion.

@Austyg A resource based society.
