There are 3 big differences between 2000 and 1990.
1. Actual "inflation" existed then, i.e. the governments operated in the red and printed paper to make up the deficit. (It's more complicated, first they sell bonds then they print the money for banks to buy them etc. etc.) Now the governments are paying off their debts. Any "inflation" is just the rise in price of some suddenly scarce item, e.g. oil. If this commodity sinks in price it should also not be termed deflation.
2. Then the economy was twice as dependent on oil as now.
3. Companies whose main task is to revolutionize the means of communication and production are much more important in the economy.
I don't say capitalism has ended recessions. I'm just saying that 2000 is markedly better than 1990.
Overall, I'd like to say that gorilla game investors shouldn't bother with such questions. They should be too busy studying the companies and the technologies.
