like I said >>by itself<< !!

there was a period of slowing economic activity in the late 1800's where the economic decline measured in output was not severe but the price declines were -- increased standard of living outweighed the negatives.

A steady monetary base would result in this happening if productivity increased.

I say this, because opponents of a gold standard often warn of falling prices being detrimental -- which they aren't necessarily.
