Steve >Milton Freidman just released research that if we have deflation it will not hurt but help. Don't think anyone on SI could debate him on it.<

I'd certainly take issue with that. Most on SI probably own tangible property including real estate that's of greater worth than their equity holdings. Disinflation of any significance would be disasterous, as anyone who mailed their home keys to their bank's mortage dept will concur. Fortunately, many of us have realized substantial net worth gains as inflation has paid off our long standing mortgages in full.

It really depends on which side of an asset relationship you're on, to benefit or lose. What Greenspan is emphasizing is having not only accurate measures of inflation that keep up with changing times, but also using those measures to maintain stable and predictable markets in all asset classes.
