Inflation vs. Deflation
MV=PQ: A Resource for Economic Educators — The new issue of The Economist has an interesting article debating the issue of inflation and deflation.

Deflation is a problem in a number of ways. Long-term debts have to be repaid with dollars of increasing value. Falling prices act as an incentive to postpone purchases - furthering the incentive to reduce prices. And wages are prices. We see the other relevant aspect if we borrow a quote from Milton Friedman, "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary ...

Tracking the recession
Econbrowser — Here are links to perspectives from others on where the economy stands at the moment. Rising delinquencies. Here's the assessment from Freddie Mac's 10-Q (hat tip to Calculated Risk): We also observed a continued increase in market-reported delinquency rates for mortgages serviced by financial institutions, not only for subprime and Alt-A loans but also for prime loans, and we experienced an increase in delinquency rates for all product types during the first quarter of 2009. This delinquency data suggests that continuing home price declines and growing unemployment are significantly affecting behavior by a ...

FSN: The great inflation/deflation debate
Finance Trends Matter — Financial Sense Newshour is hosting a new interview series around the great inflation vs. deflation debate. Will we see significant inflation in the months and years ahead, or are we headed for deflation? Last weekend, Jim Puplava brought on Daniel Amerman and Mike "Mish" Shedlock to debate the inflation vs. deflation question. Both made some interesting points on the timing and likelihood of either scenario, while Amerman stressed the importance of correctly anticipating the more likely outcome in order to defend one's savings and investments. We also hear from Marc Faber, who makes the case for inflation in a ...
