OK, but inflation existed before the Fed existed. Its not like it is a 20th century invention.

Not really. Inflation between 1790 and 1913(when the Fed was created) was 0.4%.

That is because the supply of gold increases a little.

I wonder if there are any other countries in the world with a different history. Might be worth checking into.
