  • It's a Great Time to Be an Inflationista [View article]
    "Deflation, on the other hand, means that no one can pay back their loans and this means default at both the micro and macro level."

    this does not need to be true if there is a gentle deflation.

    your overall argument fails in that hyperinflation causes only slightly less damage than hyperdeflation. with hyperinflation
    - retirees and poor are screwed
    - budget deficits would run wild as tax revenues would be a year out of sync with government expenses.
    - there is no incentive to sell as things will be worth much more tomorrow (economy would collapse).
