Re: "We are not in a global inflationary cycle. I would assume that deflation is a greater risk than at any time in either of our lives." Some --- (few) --- countries have appreciating currencies and rising price levels domestically ('inflation') right now. Among their ranks I see Brazil, China, India, probably a few more. Most Western countries (Europe, the US, etc.) are facing the exact opposite problem as you point out: deflation. I would venture to say that, (& mostly as a direct result of the Global economic crash and recessions thereby spawned...), MORE of the world is at risk from disinflation and deflation now then from inflation. Re: "Gross mismanagement of the dollar may cause it to suffer inflation even as the global currencies experience deflation." A little price inflation would be very welcome right now in the US... as an indication of a growing economy. But, as far as the currency goes, the Dollar has been on a LONG and mostly slow and steady decline for decades now. I would expect exactly the same for the future.
