Higher interest rates, because they are deflationary, can be used by central banks to fight inflation.
Interest rates have been lowered, however, worldwide because central banks are fighting deflation. Poorly.
The world is still stuck in a deflationary death spiral.
But Southack, if that's true, why then is the price of everything (save for a few anomalies) going up? The price of money, wine, toys, food, energy, commodities - nearly everything.
Am I living in some alternate universe, or are you seeing this where you live also?

Not printing money can also be used to fight inflation.

You make it sound like falling prices are a bad thing.
