if i am wrong about inflation, i will be right about deflation

without you defining what YOU mean by inflation and deflation, our discussion will forever go in circles

by inflation, i mean money supply, inclusive of debt creation and fiat fiscal spending

by deflation, i mean contraction of same

what do you mean?

the silly indicator of price increase of a randomly chosen basket of goods and bads, hedonically adjusted and in chained dollars, less food and minus energy?

by my definition, fiat money inflation will normally side by side with debt creation, and when not, will not be able to forestall debt implosion enhanced implosion of asset prices, unless the officialdom sincerely wishes not to suffer debt implosion enhanced asset implosion, in which case we have hyper inflation

argentina and zimbabwe are two sides of the same coin

now, what do you mean by inflation and deflation?
