I think we agree on the point, but disagree in the definitions.

Money supply inflation might not directly influence price inflation, though we see price inflation in asset prices, such as stocks and properties.

My point is more on the government saying it needs inflation, when even without price increases inflation might be happening.

We have increasing productivity, cost has been falling, so if prices stay fixed, therefore no price inflation, the people are still paying more than they should.

The value of things have been falling, but prices haven't.

When the Federal Reserve said that a little more inflation is acceptable, they were talking about the Consumer Price Index.

It’s not that price increases are good in themselves, but that it would be good if people spent more, and if it results in prices being a little higher, this is okay.
