It may be recalled that some years ago he wagered against

Foucault is a obscurantist and aesthete who has poisoned the mind of

it's not true deflation unless prices _in general_ are falling, though the fall in prices in crucial sectors can indicate that true deflation is in the offing. A really deadly deflation would involve falling money wages and falling housing prices.

Eh, I wasn't implying assent to the perspective of the article - and
certainly not to the Right to Work defense fund's anti-union crusade - by
forwarding it. It's just the only in-depth description of the charges I've
been able to find, and this is pretty significant news IMO.
