Not only in the history of money, but in the history of humanity. Think of all the lost prosperity that has been siphoned off since 1971 and the collective rise in living standards people could have afforded.

We are very comfortable as technologists and other high-paying (read: inflationary) professionals, but there is a large class of people who are getting thoroughly shafted by these monetary policies and they are your Uber drivers, the people who work at the coffee store, the factory workers in the midwest, and the homeless. The exponential rise in rents in cities are not a natural consequence of the capitalist marketplace, rather its a consequence of loose monetary policy whereby money has entered real estate markets to gain returns by exploiting ridiculous rents.

Again, no coincidence that productivity and wage increases started to diverge significantly after the gold standard was abandoned.

Our modern loose monetary policy and inflation targeting is probably the greatest regressionary redistributional scheme in the history of mankind, and will go down in history as such.
