Interesting point. Saving is just consumption deferred. There are definite time-effects how qualifiable/quantifiable these are I really do not know. One of the things that can be used to describe inflation is the 'basket of goods'. Deflation - K-Cycle Autumn & Winters - usually are associated with massive tech booms and increases in productivity. During these periods the basket of goods and services changes drastically. These factors - save or consume and which basket of goods to consume - usually mean that we are never talking about the same thing, and suffer from moving goal-post syndrome. However I do believe that New money is inflation postponed! - as every good counterfeiter knows. -macavity
