As governments increase their debts & unfunded liabilities, servicing them becomes a bigger and bigger problem.

This forces central banks to print more new currency in order to enable their governments to handle the debt service payments.

But once inflation starts becoming an intractable problem & interest rates can no longer be suppressed, the system breaks — usually via destruction of the currency.

History is quite clear on this.
