'inflation of everything we need, and deflation of all that we have", Someone is coming close to the truth. Yest this is called terms of trade. Main relationship between the prices at which a country sells its exports and the prices paid for its imports. If the prices of a country’s exports rise relative to the prices of its imports, one says that its terms of trade have moved in a favourable direction, because, in effect, it now receives more imports for each unit of goods exported. The terms of trade, which depend on the world supply of and demand for the goods involved, indicate how the gains from international trade will be distributed among trading countries. The concept is also applied to different sectors within an economy (e.g., agricultural and manufacturing sectors). britannica.com

The brutality of the odious system is that even if one would accept the terms of trade against him and just try to export it way out of poverty, this course of action would denied. Why? Protectionist kept his products out of a given market. Tariffs and non tariff barriers would inflate the products when it imported into a given market. To avoid this one country trying to screw another, is that Europe created the EU.
