I don’t think there’s a strong relation between knowledge and salary. It’s more likely demand and supply - if specific skills are in demand, and not many people have them, then pay will increase. And at the highest levels it’s often not what you know, but who you know that matters.

Won’t deflation increase the value of money, and so enrich those with accumulated money more than those barely scraping by?
