to ensure rising profits each year, ad infinitum.

There used to be the chance that stock prices etc. could fluctuate, with the possibility that large, wealthy investors could lose money. They want to make sure that never happens on a large scale again.

Crazy theory, I know, but the rich want to make sure their wealth continuously grows and not the other way around.

Controlled inflation that would help them, but hurt everyone below them, is the future of state economics.
