A person who believes in or advocates for hidden or covert inflation, or someone who secretly holds inflationary economic views while publicly denying them.
From 'crypto-' (hidden) + 'inflationist' (believer in monetary inflation), a pejorative economic term that emerged in mid-20th-century political discourse.
This word is a political insult—accusing someone of being a 'cryptoinflationist' means saying they're sneakily causing price increases while pretending they support sound money, combining distrust of both inflation AND hypocrisy.
'-ist' suffix in technical economics defaulted to male academic identity; economists and theorists were predominantly male in institutional contexts where 'cryptoinflationist' would apply.
Use for any gender practicing cryptoinflation theory; specify pronouns and names to avoid masculine default.

Early women economists studying inflation and currency theory (e.g., Joan Robinson) were systematically excluded from credit in male-authored canonical texts.
