That denominator? Those $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$? That’s supposed to be fixed. In order to provide a semblance of rationality to the numerator / denominator equation, at least when it comes to measuring value – the denominator isn’t supposed to be moving or if it is, it has to at least be constrained by some kind of economic trade-off. In the old-timey days, on a gold standard, there was a 2% natural inflation rate that was mostly limited by the ability to discover new gold deposits and actually mine the stuff. It was a pretty good system and the world moved to it under its own incentives, not by the decree of a committee of experts.
