I think passivesf has a point though-- history seems replete with examples where a "depression" (not a Depression ;) leads to an episode of outrageous inflation, if not outright political and currency failure. It only makes sense to me because at a certain point hoarded money will come out and buy. At a point, that buying will lead to higher velocity and higher prices and...Baldy wrote..Thank you Lera. I believe what is happening is akin to Nothing's reference to the Depression and reset. The Depression was not a reset but was merely a ----- (I can't think of the word- ). A reprieve, imho. Perseid wrote..Money Velocity can only hit zero if either money supply goes to infinity, or if GDP goes to zero. I could possibly see GDP going to zero, but it's pretty extreme. The central bankers get hives if GDP contracts by 10%. GDP going to zero would send them all to an early grave (perhaps not a bad thing then). You can see why they're in such a scramble to get this 'stimulus' money and push it out into the system. I don't quite understand your assertion in mathematical terms. Money supply could stay positive non-zero and velocity goes to zero. Its called currency failure. 2009-02-06 14:29:03
