You could argue that's just inflation. Total real value remains the same with every lap, it's just distributed differently between players (particularly if you count the unclaimed tiles as an extra player)

The "Do not pass Go" mechanic effectively means some players skip income and it's not uniform inflation.

Also players selectively mortgaging properties will destroy overall wealth in the game.
