Ok, you can make the argument that economics is a primitive science. But why should I believe you over the general consensus of thousands of economists? Especially when you have provided no argument except “there used to be no inflation, so there should be no inflation now!”

Isn't that a good enough argument? They knew how to manage a stable economy, now they have forgotten how to do it. It's like the Dark Ages, the Romans knew how to build aqueducts, but people then lost that technology.
