- anonymoushn 15y agoMild deflation is the natural state of things - over time, most tasks should take less labor to accomplish because of improvements in technology and organization. Are we to prefer that a man who labors enough to buy four gallons of milk can only purchase a one if he chooses to do so 30 years later, even though the cost of producing milk in real terms (and indeed the price of milk in real terms) has decreased?
- nandemo 15y agoA deflationary currency might be considered undesirable but it is not an oxymoron any more that "inflationary currency" is.
