I like people who spend more time typing than reading. Did you actually read the linked article or did you just ineptly skim it?

I'm getting the feeling you didn't read the article, even though I surmise that you wrote it?

By all means, there are some good ideas that are presented in the article, but perhaps you were thinking of another one if you're trying to respond to the arguments at hand, because this one just doesn't address the issues being discussed. Essentially, this article is about consumerism and ecology rather than issues surrounding deflation in relation to the money supply.

By the way, I agree with the point about inflation encouraging consumerism, and I agree that we would be in a better world if there wasn't this built in disincentive to save/invest in the future.

And one more thing, the relation of the supply of dollars to turkeys is flawed in that any actual currency will always have more supply than all of what could possibly be bought in the connected (or nearly connected) market than what the current price multiplied by the supply of any good will be... This is because the currency is chasing after more than just that good... Essentially, that portion of the argument does not prove the point that there's an ecological problem, else you would make the claim about any monetary unit.

Did I answer your question? I'm rather certain I actually read the article (as well as that which was linked in the original post.) You should really stop making it a habit of being condescending to people you don't know.
