When they were released to work in pairs, Evan immediately turned his attention to Jude, not even taking a moment to consider the Hufflepuff might have wanted to work with someone else or thinking to ask first. This lesson was rather interesting, and he was surprised that so far the economics of the two worlds he found himself part of now had the same issues. Lucia's comment had gotten an interested look too from the Ravenclaw, and he hoped she would have a moment to expand because he was curious to hear what else she had to offer.

But for now, further discussion. Ways to combat inflation and if it was good or bad. Truthfully, he couldn't see a reason inflation would be good but would have been interested to hear if anyone else had reasons it was. "I think inflation is bad. One of the problems with inflation is that with each increase of products, there isn't always a simultaneous increase in workers wages, which shifts the classes, shortening the middle class and expanding those who are poor. Which can then also increase rates of homelessness." Which wasn't good for anyone, really. "As for how to combat... I don't know, maybe some type of harsher regulations on the value of currency? That only works though if you can establish a world wide currency and get everyone to agree..." Because foreign trade was a thing that also impacted inflation. "Or eliminating the currency in general. Like if everyone traded services for goods."
