You'll notice it at the airport. Old ladies who need 20 minutes to put their shoes back on gladly take them off for the TSA goons. Same little old lady has no qualms about the X-Ray vision machine either as she winks to the guy checking her out on the screen. Same appeal to old people with GPS tracking devices to get you a discount on your auto insurance. "I go 10 MPH under the speed limit, sign me up!" Sounds great until that GPS finds their vehicle _inside_ the Walmart...

First, these periods were characterized by frequent overzealous lending of fiat money, sometimes by private banks, sometimes by banks set up by the government, and it doesn't matter who creates the bogus money. Second, much of the economic history of the period is stated in terms of nominal dollars, and in some periods, when the money was actually stable while production increased, nominal prices fell, as they must The argument that the US suffered violent economic cycles in the laissez faire markets of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from which we have been spared by the wise actions of the Fed and counter cyclical federal spending is demolished in two ways.
