He was touring the federal printing and engraving center north of Ft. Worth, Texas. I asked him if he asked them what would happen if they just keep on printing money. He said he didn't ask.

]]> Comment on Sound Money and a Secure Free Society by Dave Doctor http://www.soundmoneyproject.org/?p=2111&cpage=1#comment-6877 Dave Doctor Mon, 12 Jul 2010 22:28:56 +0000 http://www.soundmoneyproject.org/?p=2111#comment-6877 I disagree with this statement, "[money] was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments." Money occurred naturally as people realized the value of indirect exchange and through many transactions some media became more popular than others, and we refer to those media as "money". Honest money does protect us from despotic governments but the idea of money came about naturally.

He explains the different meanings of "deflation" and their impact on the market under the headings of:

(a) Supply-Side Deflation
(b) Price-Wage Rigidity Deflation
(c) Monetary Deflation

He then discusses what some central bankers such as Ben Bernanke mean by "deflation" and why their cures for this supposed "problem" can be a source of even more instability, imbalance and distortion of market and price relationships.

I think it might be of interest for this debate.
