Some texts which address many impoverishment (price inflation) apologia arguments. Gladly give feedback to them! I want them to be as strong as possible.
Table of content “But The Experts™ think that price deflation is bad!” The inflation and deflation terms have been revised by the Keynesian revolution to sow confusion “Price Inflation” vs “Price Deflation” corresponds to “Impoverishment” vs “Enrichment”, by definition Why price deflation is just unambigiously good; 1$ for 1 year’s worth of food as an implication of high durable non-price-fixing price deflation caused by increased efficiency in production and in distribution / elaborations on “abundance-induced price deflation” “But […]
