I am sure you are right, thanks for posting. To me looking at it from an energy point of view gives us a deeper insight into what is really wrong, but it's something not a lot of folk want to see, it spells much worse news for financiers, and actually pretty much all business for profit, than any purely financial argument.
When we understand this it becomes clear nature is driving inflation, for the first time in history.
There is a way to stop it, but again this seems unpalatable by everyone even slighty invested in "The old" system. But this is inevitable, driven by physics, the only way to survival, actually.
To try to put it in a way that lawyers and financiers, rather then physicists will easily understand, we might say that we accepted a kind of contract from the sun, when we started to accept KWhrs of energy from it. The sun lays down the only term and condition that we put this energy to use. It asks for nothing else, nothing in return. The penalty for not using it, is a burning planet, and rampant inflation.
Using it means passing it on to all needing it, to ensure that all get to do something useful with it, anything other than just release it to heat, as would have happened if nature didn't use it.
The main transport mechanism we use to get the energy we each need to survive 24/7, the 150 or so Watts needed by our metabolisms, is money.
So money has to be issued for those KWhrs received from the sun, with nothing asked in return. The vast majority of solar installations are now in domestic and community installations. So no point handing the money to utilties energy companies, who are also going out of business because in the more developed countries they already lost 30, 40, or 50 percont of their business to domestic and community solar.
This means massive issue of free money to the public, as happened during covid.
Notice the dollar went up in value at that time, not down, confounding conventional economists.
This is the only way to get inflatiion back down, it makes sense when we realise we were simply monetising economic product created from solar energy.
As long as we carry on not doing that, money is coming to represent nothing, whilst the product of value continues to scale up, nonetheless, like the leaves grow on a tree.
I could go on, but hopefully you are getting the picture. Proof with some numbers is here:
