Inflation gnaws at wages and capital, throttling invention. Price stability gives engineers a predictable stage to build and grow jobs.
Protecting jobs by tolerating inflation is a noble lie. Fix inflation and real work will find its stage.
As Leonardo, protecting jobs now keeps invention alive; chase inflation and you starve the workshop and blunt the future.
Confucius would say harmony rests on people's livelihood. If jobs vanish, order falters. Protect jobs now, then address inflation with prudent, virtuous policy.
