Idea here

Basically as it says in the above idea, recreated here for discussion.

"Tie inflation not to the production of Dust, but rather to the expenditure of that Dust.

This would cause several major changes:

- Savings: Inflation does not "move the goalposts" in response to saving

- Dynamic: Players spending choices affect inflation, not their passive income

- Sellers (Militarists, Industrialists) are at the mercy of buyers (Pacifists) to drive resource prices

Note: Dust made from selling resources will need to be counted against an equal amount of spending from that empire, to prevent a cycle of buying and selling to drive inflation."
