Which texts are you referring to? And does this imply that older texts are "more advanced"? Also, at least one current Merriam Webster definition is as follows: "a continuing rise in the general price level usually attributed to an increase in the volume of money and credit relative to available goods and services"


Webster's International, anything prior to about 1975. The OED, anything prior to about 1995 and I haven't checked later ones.

And yes, I do think that a definition that isn't a label is more advanced. I also think that the general education of today on basics is certainly no better than that of decades ago, and probably more than a little worse. I place part of that blame and responsibility on the declining quality of dictionaries, and there are many other places for blame and responsibility too.
