New York Times: Should We Brace for Deflation Now?
August 11, 2010
Stocks declined sharply the day after the Fed announced that it would buy government debt to shore up the faltering economy. Weak job reports, along with other indicators, have caused Fed policy makers to worry increasingly about the economy falling into a deflationary spiral of declining demand, prices and wages.
How likely is the prospect of deflation now? Americans haven't experienced sustained deflation since the 1930s. Is there's something about the U.S. economy that makes deflation less of a threat? What's the way out? http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2010/08/11/should-we-brace-for-deflation-now?th&emc=th
