No economist is really "okay" with inflation - it exists because our system is flawed.

Again, I don't know much about economics, but I was always under the impression that it was supply/demand that created inflation in the first place, not the other way around. Inflation is just the name given to the process caused by these other things. Stabilize supply/demand, and get rid of inflation/deflation, not get rid of inflation/deflation, and stabilize supply/demand? Now I've gone and confused myself.

I knew I should have paid better attention in economics class . . .
