I am not sure about the nature of the problem but here is a hint uwm.edu .

I guess the first order effect would be annual persistent decrease for certain types of goods and services, not entirely offset by yearly insistent increase for other kinds of products and chores.

Another effect would be gradually lopsided burden on the salaryperson in the form of taxes necessary to take care of the aged, above and beyond the offsetting productivity increases of the salaryperson’s work.

Then there is this issue that will further complicate the goings on in the society 202.221.217.59 .

Inexplicably, the Japanese seem to be in a hurry to expedite the process along smh.com.au .

A few questions to ponder …

How much is the money of such a society worth?

Given that it is not worth very much, why should they not keep printing to buy USD and keep investing in China, spewing out wealth and factories while the two are still worth something?

If so, what would stop the global fiat money inflation process?

If nothing will stop it except exhaustion, then should we not keep buying stuff in places where they might be worth more or hold value in future?

I just do not know.
