As we have seen on this and other threads, the meaning of key terms such as inflation and deflation has been so badly bastardized that you have people saying things like "the rising price of oil is not inflation because it is not caused by growth in money supply". I think we should have a robust conversation, but the ease with which it becomes contorted by jargon and assumptions prevents that from happening. We don't invent the alphabet when we post out thoughts -- nor should we invent new jargon when that jargon is more likely to add to the confusion rather than shed light on the issues at hand. I think there is a compelling argument to be made under some circumstances that a credit contraction can contribute to deflation - and a compelling argument that it can contribute to inflation - lets discuss it, not jargonize it.
