Listening to BBC Radio 4 this morning I heard an economist suggest that we needed higher inflation to revive the economy.
The Keynesian remedy for recession is a combination of budget deficit and inflation. However we have both, and the economy is still in recession, though only just.
It does appear that what stimulates the economy may be not deficit and inflation per se but increasing deficit and inflation, so the proposed remedy risks precipitating hyper inflation.
