Porc, >>Of course, it is impossible to have an economy in which some industries do not of necessity have long lag times between purchasing inputs and selling outputs. For example, agriculture. I can see no real world scenario in which low-margin mature industries with long intervals between buying inputs and selling outputs would not be ruined by persistent deflation.<< That's part of the reason why they invented derivatives. For many businesses you can now hedge that sort of stuff. Of course this is the business and "net positive" side of derivatives. Unfortunately, they are now mostly used by cowboy speculators to generate trading profits for themselves while putting the financial system at risk and often forcing backdoor bailouts that the public doesn't understand and holds no one accountable for. I agree with your point though. Wayne
