Reflation!

Post by rocketdog »

This summer, from the producers who brought you Inflation and its hit sequel Deflation, comes the end of the trilogy:

Reflation!

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The term "reflation" threw me for a loop.  I've never heard that term before.  Never knew there was such a thing.

Well of course MG beat me to it.  ::)  So in terms of the PP, should we lump reflation in with inflation?
