The solution is to stop debasing our currencies by printing insane amounts of money, as the parent poster is implying. If the goal was to create higher-quality goods every year rather than cheaper, lower-quality goods then the market would naturally develop this way. But we are constantly forced to reduce quality to maintain profitably in an easy-money world.
