Hi Chris, here's and interview with Don Brash, the NZ minister of finance who introduced the 2% inflation target. Note his target was zero to 2%, 2% was the maximum, not the actual target. He mentions in the interview why even 2% is not good. https://fountain.fm/episode/Tcm6Fz56X5YnblYrKPar

    US system isn’t free market in the least, not even 10%. Hospitals control whether new ones are allowed. Patents and IP are fundamentally anti-free market. That’s just a couple of many examples. It’s corporatist, but not free market. Elective surgery is more free market and there you see quality up and price down over time.
