No, inflation doens't advance society unless you think that stealing from people who value their earnings and giving it to people who cannot value it because they didn't earn it is somehow a productive act.

It would be the same as describing a "vibrant" cancer in a growing organism as responsible for that organism's growth.

There is no way to make counterfeiting a positive thing, it cannot and does not do anything good for anyone except the counterfeiter. the only way to assume it does, requires the keynesian fallacy that inflation "boosts economic activity" to be accepted as fundamentally true, when in actuality (with respect, this is not directed at you) it's fucking retarded.

It doesn't only give it to people who cannot value it because they didn't earn it. It also gives it to anyone that can borrow a large amount. Obviously governments benefit the most by far but so do companies like Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. Which is terrible because it changes their incentives to become the biggest borrower over being the best at what you think they do.
