The new issue of The Freeman is now available online. The Freeman continues to get a strong array of professional academics to write for the intelligent non-specialist on topics of current concern. The new issue has essays by Art Carden, Andrew Morriss, Bruce Yandle, Steve Davies, and yours truly.
My piece is on "Deflation: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly," exploring the various ways that we might use the term "deflation" and when it's good and bad. I also recommend Art's piece as an excellent overview of the scholarly research on Wal-Mart. It would be particularly good for classroom use. Finally, Steve Davies' monthly column is always terrific, and this month it's on historical myths.
The article on deflation sums up the subject very well.
