All of your conclusions are valid of course, but you’re not comprehending the deepest problem and hence the earth shaking solution, namely the new APPLIED monetary paradigm concept.

The present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money is Debt Only. Acculturated since the first day of human civilization its why its so hard for people to understand that government deficits (an aspect of the concept of Debt Only) are actually monetary gifts to the private sector.

Retail sale is the single macro-economic point of the entire economic process. Thus a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at that point doubles everyone’s purchasing power and so the potential demand for every enterprise’s goods and services, and yet with double entry bookkeeping makes the merchant whole on his entire price, does not cost the merchant a single additional penny and implements beneficial price and asset deflation for EVERY individual. Same equal debits and credits 50% method at point of loan signing continuously integrates debt jubilee into the economic process instead of suggesting a one off ineffective “modern debt jubilee” which sociologically misses the long standing financial and corporate oligarchy. Reforms are shallow and easily over thrown. Paradigm changes totally invert anomalous realities and hence resolve them…until new insights are discovered.

Too much consumption? Mitigate consumption and direct and increase investment with a policy of a sliding scale of required investment of monetary gifts into eco-energy R & D bonds. This tax/cost is still a gift and so philosophically aligns with the new paradigm. And there are other policies to prevent inflation through out the entire economic process using taxation, double entry bookkeeping and monetary gifting.
