No.
Rothbard specifically says the number of monetary units doesnt matter.
Nowhere does he say it should be a fixed number.
nobody is saying deflationary periods shouldn't happen.
just that it wasn't ever suggested the maximum structurally deflationary environment is the best for human flourishing.
because its a ridiculous idea.
