Answer:

· This is why we are all suc.kered into using an unstable, unpredictable, constantly depreciating currency as money. This is also why the official currencies of many 3 rd world countries and failed states are abandoned for US $ or barter: the currency’s value has usually been inflated away through money printing, and a failed state isn’t very good at collecting taxes.
