G.S.C: The economy has always been between the threat of stagflation and deflation. Stagflation is easily controlled by hiking interest rates ad nauseam till you force a recession and curtail demand. Controlling deflation when the interest rate is already close to the rate of inflation is extremely difficult. I believe this is the threat that A.G sees and one which I consider more real in the short term. Japan has shown that there are few tools to handle an economy in deflation mode.
