The only system of economics which can validly be supported by the Bible is free-market economics, subject to Biblical laws. But because man is determined to play god he will not recognise any law order external to himself which can govern his way of life and impose limitations upon his fiat powers. The totalitarian state, as creator of fiat money by legalised counterfeiting is always the wealthiest and most powerful force in society. The claim of the modern state is that it is god walking on earth and sovereign of all, with power to create fiat money and fiat laws. This philosophy is evidenced by the tax system.
Inflation is thus a consequence of the state playing god and is of a religious origin.
Inflation, by cheapening the value of money, robs creditors and rewards debtors. The state of course is the biggest debtor of all. Inflation is the theft of the value of money and so the state is the leading thief. It encourages thieves and favours debtors, for example, by allowing deductions for interest payments on debts but there is no benefit for savings, the interest received being taxed. However, inflation cannot work unless the state has a large number of allies among the people.
