The real problem the US, Japan and EU are facing is that the system is way too stable and resilient, the COVID stimulus should have created enough inflation to bring the economy back to a normal state yet it completely failed to do so.

The last 20 years were marked by the corporate savings rate increasing, meaning companies are not investing. This could be related to China and various other factors but it is clear that the Fed and the government has done enough to help corporations, they are doing so extremely well that they don't need any more help. The mistake from the start was that the government didn't help citizens enough. It didn't create enough jobs or it didn't return those excess corporate savings to the population forcibly. The reason why wealth redistribution is popular is that excess savings are zero sum, for the corporate savings rate to go up, either total investment has to go up (it hasn't) or the household savings rate has to go down. There is a similar dynamic with rich vs poor.

The corrosion you speak of doesn't exist. The system is way too stable, far more stable than should be possible, that's the real problem. Your dollars, by that I mean the dollars corporations and therefore the wealthy own, aren't losing value fast enough.
