I am thinking about inflation in the past and how it affected the economy.

The tendency in the past was to follow the inflation by offering supports of one kind or another. That did not finish up well in times past. What is the balance to be struck in that area? Are we capable of being discreet in what we do and prepared to be so? Alternatively, are we likely to go overboard?
