Thanks for pointing this out and I will be sure to re-iterate this in the following posts in this series. I plan to write two more posts "Case for inflation" and "Case for deflation". Blogging has been a little slow since Kingsley started his one month vacation a week ago as it is hard to find quiet time to write.

Look at the US during the '66 - '81 secular bear market. Inflation was high for most of that period. Deflation seems to always be bad.
