Thought experiment: if a global currency system can expand and contract with the population to maintain a stable per-capita currency supply, we would have an elastic currency system that is still a fair and neutral price measurement tool. As the population expands, greater economies of scale are achieved, increasing the per-capita productivity in an exponential way while the currency supply inflates only linearly, so prices would naturally decline while liquidity simultaneously increased. If the population was to decline for some reason, then the exact opposite would occur: the excess liquidity would dry up at the same time that economies of scale are lost, causing prices to rise during a deflationary contraction. If you think about it, these are the exact correct things to do in the scenario and send the exactly correct price signals for the scenarios: in the first, we on average get wealthier, so you can get more goods and services in exchange for less of your savings and labor; in the latter, we on average get poorer, so you get less for more.
