<A small, constant inflation would be ideal because they make profit from printing the extra needed to cause that constant inflation and that's an easy way of being paid for their efforts. As long as they don't get greedy and print too much, they can maintain the system indefinitely.>

I forgot to add, Alan Green$pan captures much of the value of the vastly increased productivity given by technology because the inflation rate doesn't really include all the benefits of new technology. I think they include factors to do with the processing power of computers, for example, but there is more to it than that. So Alan gets to print a lot of money, just to avoid deflation, and the government gets to spend all that money they print.

It's a very good system for them, and me, because when they print more money, they dilute the money I owe to the stock-broking lender.

I like that. People who own money instead of shares will be heavily diluted over time although there won't be significant inflation. The effect will be that they'll fall behind the stock market value and returns from that. That's my theory anyway. So far, so good.
