<<<that sounds like a plausible target to me. i'm busy studying 13th century inflation data. does anyone remember the great deflation of a.d.1285? prices fell over 30% in that year.

rotflmao. its true, inflation is a modern day phenomenon. i first learned about it as a tot when the local Dairy Queen raised prices of its soft ice cream cones from a dime to 15 cents. i was very puzzled <ggg> and not a happy little camper about that.

What source are you using for your historical inflation data? I have a table from 1790 to 1933 that showes spikes that tend to conform with wars, e.g., Napoleonic Wars, War of 1812, Civil War, WWI, then reversion back to baseline, and dips below baseline between 1880-1910, and after 1929. The baseline does appear fairly stable, but I have no idea how accurate the data are.
