Cents and Sensibility: the Inflation Guy PodcastEp. 134: What if Prices Really Were Stable?Today the Inflation Guy answers a listener's question, which is 'if the US were ever to have sustained 0% inflation, what would the effects be?'

Often enough, perhaps too often, we equate wei qi with the immune system. And think about strength, rather than balance.
