It isnt though. Would you build your house with an elastic measuring tape? Would you accept a job where your hourly wage was a random number picked every week? Maybe at the grocery checkout your food was $10 or maybe this time it is $10,000? The purpose of prices is for people to make rational economic decisions, and a constantly changing money supply makes that impossible.

Yeah, that does make sense.

Yep. This.

An economy with an elastic money supply is like an airplane with an elastic altimeter. And they'll each last about as long as the other! 😆
