Tippet, In the US wages have risen along with profits while prices have not. The only explanation I am aware of for this is the significant increases in productivity being reported by the economics establishment. While foreign goods may act to influence US business to keep prices steady (or lower), productivity increases are still necessary to allow them to do this without reducing profits in the face of labor cost increase. If there is a problem with my logic, please let me know. TIA, Scott

tippet,

Rest of the world was booming till mid '97, where was inflation then? The present US economy has been an enigma to economists for a while as it invalidates several general accepted premises regarding growth ... but if you have made up your mind that productivity gains are BS, I guess I will not further this discussion.
