Fake economics to "stable money causes hitler" in two sentences.
Countries used gold or metals either directly as currency or to back paper currency for hundreds of years. If their governments overspent they collapsed.
Saying you need inflation or you get hitler is pretty wild.
those hundreds and thousands of years were basically before humanity learned that prosperity could exist.
no growth that whole time, other than when you go to war and expand your gold supply by taking somebody else's.
the positive sum present is much better than the zero sum past
those hundreds and thousands of years were basically before humanity learned that prosperity could exist.
No, it was pretty much up until the early 1900s

Not really. You need inflation, or you end up with stagnation.
