Andy, basically the answer is yes. it's the combination of assets and debt that lies at the heart of the preceding disinflation bubble that now exerts a powerful deflationary influence, as asset prices (the former INFLATION beneficiary) collapse and debt gets cancelled (see today's default by PCG - debt destruction is an inherently deflationary event).

besides, i believe that we are at the requisite stage of the kondratyev long wave: on the cusp of the k-winter.

andy--

we speak of al and his 'printing presses' here on this thread. is it actually though that most of the new money is 'electronic' and is simply consumed by the various markets, leaving only debt on the books?
