What if we stopped measuring inflation? Can't help but think inflation causes more inflation and it's just used as a lazy excuse to raise the price of goods.

Why have train ticket prices gone up? Inflation. Why have the debt repayments gone up? Inflation.

Even if we stopped measuring it, it would still exist and so there’s no benefit to not measuring and in fact it would be worse as you would have less data to make reasoned and informed solutions to economic problems.
