Inflation Deflation Red-flation Blue-flation

from Mises Media Hosted by Matthew Beller

A debate has been raging for some time among those in the finance industry about whether the United States is currently experiencing inflation, deflation, stagflation, reflation, hyperinflation, or maybe even some other sort of "-flation" that only Dr. Seuss could imagine. Given the confusion, this article will add some color to the debate by offering usable definitions of the terms inflation and deflation and then attempt to show what is occurring in today's economy, writes Matthew Beller. This audio Mises Daily is narrated by Ron Jennings.
