Flats, that was offered up at Prudent bear as a sample of his work. it is not a complete reprint of the Dec. issue. I quoted some excerpts of his comments on hedonics. He has written about it at length for years. I suggest you read my notes agian and look at the Commerce Dept. survey of Current Business - they break it down between real GDP and Chain-weigthed GDP. I also furnished you with a link that has some figures from the Survey - search Grandfather economic page. The truth is there for those who wish to find it. mike

<You ascribe too much power to "hedonics" where the market is concerned. It is not the "cause" of the current problems. It is more a "symptom" which lends a supporting role.> IMO the hedonics issue is more like hiding the clocks in the casino... not a symptom of, but and aid... or excuse... to keep serving drinks. DAK
