Inflation Remains a |
|
| Many Americans assume that inflation is rising. They fear that the recent increase in commodity prices will lead to higher finished goods producer prices and then higher consumer prices. This fear is intensified because people tend to notice when prices go up for products they buy most often.
As economist A. Gary Shilling points out in a recent commentary, such ��쐗idespread fears of inflation are understandable. Historically, inflation is a wartime phenomenon when government spending is huge, while deflation reigns in peacetime. Still, the nation suffered a uniquely long 60 years of war, which started with rearmament in the late 1930s, was followed by World War II, which promptly gave way to the Cold War that was augmented by the War on Poverty. So, most Americans have never experienced anything but inflation, which they believe is the way God made the world.��� |

On-Line Advertising |
|
| Just a few short years ago, before the dot-com crash, any Web site with lots of visitors was thought to be a money machine for advertisers. BlueMountain.com, a greeting card company with 11 million visitors a month, sold for $780 million, even though it had no revenues. But, shortly after the crash, you couldn��셳 give those eyeballs away, and until recently the industry consensus was that there was little if any value in advertising on the Internet. |
