So, under this theory, why did greed increase so much in 2021, after having been mostly dormant for 1-2 decades?

Inflation will also decrease the value of greedy peoples money, so what happened in 2021 was simply that greed got out of control. If you are greedy, the best way to fight inflation is to raise prices and collect more money. Once people stop bying things altogether, greed will dictate that prices come down. It's a lot simpler than what the article gives it credit for.

Another hot take on inflation, I think, is https://eand.co/the-economys-crashing-because-we-re-an-indus...
