SLP153 Philipp Bagus - What Most People Get Wrong About Deflation

Philipp Bagus, Professor Department of Applied Economics, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos - joins me to talk about why deflation is not what you typically hear in the mainstream financial press. In this conversation we talk about:

• The real causes of deflation
• Why deflation is not necessarily what causes recessions
• Distinctions between growth deflation, and bank credit deflation
• Contrasting life under a fiat money standard with a hard money standard
• Real world examples
