Being a statistician, depending on the availability of data a financial system based on either the inflation rate in general or the inflation rate of player salaries would not be that difficult to model. It could be as simple as using the average or more sophisticated using the distribution of salaries. In either case, given that there is already a financial structure based on ability in place, this should not be a real challenge to program. Heck, for a free OOTP5 I'd even volunteer to do the statistical work.
