> You and I both know what it means. > The result was not prosperity Apparently we don't since we don't agree on the example I cited? Look, I am sure you strongly believe you are correct, but by stating things as true and then refusing to actually discuss them on more than a superficial level you are not going to convince anyone of anything but your confidence in your belief. Using simplistic examples and then claiming that everyone else is wrong foundationally when they try and figure out how your claims apply to other examples is frustrating and unproductive. > That's not how markets work. Well, since you are saying in another thread that inflation is as simple as %inflation = $GDPpresent / $GDPlast * 100, then you might forgive me if I take your understanding of markets as a tad naive.
