Death of Inflation: Surviving and Thriving in the Zero Era

Book Description

Imagine a world without inflation: prices rising in some years but falling in others; pay rising by 2 or 3% inthe good years, but static or falling in the bad ones; house prices are likely to fall as to rise; interest rates in the range of 2-4%. A purely imaginary world? No.

A rethinking of economic theories.......2002-03-08

The author has successfully discussed the various theoretical works done on "inflation". It had been enlightening to know that many of the great, simple theories in economics simply did not say anything useful. The balanced approach in discussing each issue had been a key feature throughout the book. I would recommend that final year economic students and MBA students should read this excellently written book.

A Gold Mine of information from a Trusted Source.......2001-03-11

Few books match what is depicted in "the death of inflation" The importance of this work is even more obvious as we are now several years after the book was originally published. The historical perspective presented is quite interesting, and with the advent of the internet, labor is the true source of the "zero inflation" idea. Price competition is inherently deflationary. This long term study "of studies" will show the average reader that capital, like any other commodity, is just another "fixed asset" in the universe. There is neither more or less of it in the universe, which means that inflation, as we have come to know it, is nothing more than an illusion in the short term, and a fallacy in the long term.

Book Description

In this rigorous study of John Maynard Keynes's views on economic theory and policy from 1920-1946, Professor Meltzer argues that some of Keynes's main ideas have been ignored or misstated. While attention has focused on short-term countercyclical policies, the main policy implications have been neglected. Keynes placed great emphasis on rules, predictability, and reduction of uncertainty. In keeping with his theoretical work, he opposed discretionary fiscal changes and favored rules to reduce instability and increase the capital stock. These policies are consistent with, and provide evidence for, the interpretation of Keynes's theory developed here.

Meltzer overlooked the mathematical model in ch.20 of the GT.......2005-03-25

Meltzer(M)has done a superb job of presenting the major conclusions reached by Keynes in his General Theory(GT)in 1936.The analytic conclusion reached by Keynes was that,due to the great uncertainty and ignorance of the future(The low weight of the evidence,w,analyzed by Keynes in chapter 26 of his A Treatise on Probability(1921)in his discussion of his c coefficient decision rule for making decisions under conditions of ignorance,uncertainty,and risk)concerning the amount of the returns that could be expected to be obtained by investors in long lived fixed capital goods ,combined with increased borrower's and/or lender's risk premiums,led to a cyclical,but not necessarily periodic,collapse in the marginal efficiency of capital schedule that could not be neutralized by a fall in the market rate of interest since increased liquidity preferences would ,in general, lead to a market equilibrium rate of interest which was too high and/or would not fall to a low enough level so as to provide an optimal capital stock.An optimal capital stock means that an economy is operating subject to resource scarcity on the boundaries of both the static and dynamic production possibilities curves.The policy conclusion of Keynes,which Meltzer shows follows from the analytic conclusion,was that government economic policy,going beyond but incorporating fiscal and monetary policy,must attempt to reduce the atmosphere of ignorance,uncertainty and risk so as to eliminate the high risk premiums being attached to investment projects by the private market based on lender's and/or borrower's assessments of risk.This is spelled out explicitly by Keynes on pp.239-241 of the GT where he states that the mec calculations,based on the net present value decision rule analysis contained in chapter 11 of the GT,must also be discounted to take into account ignorance,uncertainty,and risk.I have deducted one star because Meltzer,like all other economists who have written on Keynes's GT,mistakenly believes that Keynes had no mathematical model of his theory of effective demand in the GT.This conclusion is based on the unsubstantiated and unsupported claims made by Joan Robinson,Austin Robinson,and Richard Kahn.Keynes's fully operational,worked out mathematical model is contained in chapters 20 and 21 of the GT.Keynes then compares his model to that of A C Pigou in the appendix to chapter19.Overall, this is the best book written on Keynes by an academic economist.I highly recommend this book.

disappointing at best.......2007-09-26

I am really annoyed by the false reviews. This book does not live up to its title. It contains two Parts, first part is about self improvement and gaining confedence in yourself, the second part is very generic.

This book may have been a collection of free reports put together with a nifty title.

Hype-driven book for people who don't know much about business.......2007-07-09

One of the biggest markets for coaches these days is selling to other coaches. In other words, people who want to help people but don't have a real genuine talent for it. This is one of the more laughable books I've ever read on coaching. But given that one of the authors is featured in that awlful piece of tripe called THE SECRET, there's not much else to say except if you buy into books like these, you truly get what you pay for. If gullible, non-critical thinking people are who you want to serve, then this book is FOR YOU (cue the balloons and streamers now as this review comes to an end....)

Major diappointment.......2007-06-27

I bought this in a group of several books I hoped would help enhance my coaching skills. This book is more about how to start a coaching practice and offered none of what I was after.

Great Information Inside!.......2007-06-15

What's great about this book is you get so much more than you pay for. It's packed full of web sites that offer free information, the authors tell you exactly what to do to become a wildly successful coach and they do it in a fun, exciting way. I get their passion for coaching and it made me want to go out and coach!
Buy it, it's a must have for coaching.
A plus!

In Touch With Reality.......2002-09-06

Free to Succeed describes accurately the ever changing work force that is effecting career opportunities. It emphasizes individuals pursuing several rotating career opportunties as opposed to doing the corporate dance as layoffs are becomming more apparent in Big Blue(IBM) and other large corporations.

This book gives some good exercises to give the reader a clear idea of his or her free agent strenghts and weakenesses. Some people have strong imaginations but just lack the nerve. Others may be gamblers with the lack of a strong purpose. To sum it up, this book is a good tool for self evaluation.

The glossary is pretty good and some good resources for web surfers. Some pretty good case studies even if some of them are a bit too repetitive. Its certainly worth a read.

Perfect for the midlife, midcareer transitioner!.......2002-03-31

A rare combination of practical suggestions with out-of-the-box thinking. I particularly like her categorization of readers as
gamblers, philosophers, desperados, and more.
I also like her list of questions to ask yourself: who are the ghosts hovering over your decision? Nearly every client I work with (see my movinglady.com site) has ghosts and it's not always easy to identify them.

Think out of the Box.......2002-02-25

This is an excellent resource for making changes in one's life and work. I found the exercises in the book especially helpful in getting me to think out of the box. The book helped to clarify my own personal working style and what type of work situation would most ensure my success. I highly recommend this book for anyone thinking of making a work change.

Barbara Reinhold's latest books is required reading for graduate students in my Management courses. Many of my students are responsible for attracting and retaining employees to corporations and agencies. Free to Succeed provides hiring managers, leaders and organizations with Best Practices from the perspective of current and well as potential employees. It answers the question...what do we need to do to create the best possible environment in a highly competitive marketplace.

I highly recommend this book.......2001-12-21

I run a mentoring services company, working with corporations to set up online mentoring programs. I recommend this book frequently to program participants. The book is designed to help people think about whether they want to leap into free agency but I think it's equally good as a career development guide for anyone who's feeling stuck or thinking about a change. There are some great exercises to help you assess your current life / career situation and figure out a next step - with free agency being one of many possibilities. I wish I had read this when I was thinking about leaving corporate life and starting a business. I wouldn't have done anything differently but it would have given me better perspective.

Book Description

Don’t be afraid of deviants. They just may save your business.

In today's challenging and sometimes puzzling business environment, deviance equals innovation--the kind of breakthrough thinking that creates new markets and tumbles traditional ones. In The Deviant's Advantage, two of America's most respected futurists show how this deviance proceeds along a traceable trajectory, explaining how and why:

• Christian fundamentalism morphed from college Bible studies to Republican party king-making
• Reebok cares more about what’s on the feet of kids in Detroit and Philadelphia than what the so-hip-it-hurts set is wearing in New York or on Rodeo Drive
• Hugh Hefner, the creator of Playboy, transformed into a cultural icon with decidedly Puritan sensibilities

Tomorrow's breakthrough concept is lurking out there right now in the mind of a deviant individual. Your choice is simple: find it and exploit it or be buried by those who do.

A Great Motivator for Creatives.......2006-10-26

I'm not going to go into too much detail but I will say this is a great book if you have young creatives working in your company (mine is advertising) who need to understand that it is their bizarre/unorthodox way of seeing the world that got them where they are.

Is there a better book that tells someone that being crazy equals profits?

In defence of an earlier comment, I don't think anyone should be intimidated by a self-invented word like "devox." Heck the Simpson's book... the one with the big donut had 84 words that forced me to open my dictionary!

Watts Wacker et. al. are the thinking man's Faith Popcorn. Faith will give you a fish but Deviant's Advantage will teach you to fish. (Which, quite often, is what invention and creativity are about.)

Somewhat interesting, but weak thesis and sloppy editing.......2004-05-07

My goal is to become a professional pundit. So when other "pro-puns" like Watts Wacker (what a name!) write a book, I usually read it. Maybe I can pick up some pundit trick-of-the-trade. Personally, it has more to do with the scraggly beard and the Pundit Uniform (like Bran Ferrin's fishing vest) than with anything you say and do.

This book distracted be because of dozens of factual errors, from people, to products, to ideas. The errors range from small, like getting the name of the Cue:Cat bar-code scanner wrong, to major errors, like stating in several places that the book of "Genesis" starts with "In the beginning was the word". (Of course, this is how the Christian bible begins, and is not in the Jewish book of Genesis/B'reishet.) I tried to contact the authors directly about these errors, but they didn't answer my mail.

Given the poor editing, it makes me wonder about the rest of his conclusions. For example he suggests that Kodak reinvent itself by becoming the world's photo storage solution. It'll be easy for Mr. Wacker and Mr. Mathews to say in a few years---when Kodak gets in further trouble--See! You should have listened to me!

This book was an entertaining read, but really just a rehash of the old-dot-com "Viral Marketing/Let's shake things up" philosophy that died with the dotcoms. I didn't learn anything new about marketing, and the only thing I learned about punditry is I need a cool name like "Watts Wacker" to let people listen to *my* wacky ideas!

From Oddity to Conventional Wisdom to Obscurity.......2003-09-15

The Deviant's Advantage is primarily a sociological look at where new ideas and trends come from. The book goes on to make a linkage to how businesses can better monitor and apply the emerging inputs to make existing and new products and services more successful.

The authors are usually speaking about deviants and deviance in the positive sense of "something or someone operating in a defined measure away from the norm." In our quest for the "new" and "authentic," such deviances sometimes attract a wider audience. In the process of attracting that audience, the deviance is "cleaned" up to be acceptable to a broader group of people until a majority find it appealing . . . at least until the novelty wears off or something more "authentic" shows up.

To understand this process, readers will probably benefit from also reading The Tipping Point and The Anatomy of Buzz.

The authors go on to point out why this process operates more rapidly than in the past. They primarily focus on language becoming more ambiguous, science making reality less objective, and the impact of a more visually stimulated culture. The point about language is particularly well done.

Finally, the authors look at how corporations, those models of conformity, can incorporate deviance by becoming aware of it and incorporating more external perspectives. Hire differently, get new stakeholders involved, and use creative brainstorming techniques to look for potentially more valuable core competencies). This last section is filled with examples of the authors' consulting experiences with major corporations. They end up with an entertaining use of social archetypes to discuss how to disseminate ideas (trickster, clown, wizard, shaman, seer, provocateur, fool).

The authors are unusually well read and very into the latest "new, new" thing. As a result, they make many allusions that are constructive and interesting for their case.

The book does, however, (as my 3 star rating suggests) have substantial weaknesses.

First, the prose is often hard to comprehend due to allusions that are incomplete. This is the fourth sentence in the introduction. "Our simple answer is that deviance happened, and our simple bet is that the barbarians haven't even begun to party." To make matters worse, the authors like to add new terms to spice things up (devox -- "the voice, spirit, or incarnation of deviant ideas, products, and individuals"). When these terms are applied, meaning can become obscure. "Deviants seek out other deviants -- this is how 'scenes' are formed and 'scenes' eventually birth markets. The neotribe . . . ."

Second, the authors claim too much for their point. "Innovation -- all innovation, positive and negative -- begins as a deviant idea germinating in the mind of a person dwelling on the Fringe of society." You can translate that into someone who is not an average person with average behavior thought of it first. Does that amaze you? Almost no one is an average person with average behavior. Further, the importance of major innovations (such as electronics, biotechnology, new sources of energy) comes from developing concepts into reality. What difference does it make who thought of these concepts first? If you look at the important, lasting innovations, these were mostly developed within some large organization (Bell Labs for the transistor, major universities for biotechnology, Boeing for modern jet transportation and so on). Yes, the early conceptualization started with a few individuals . . . but until we develop a Borg-like mind that will happen by definition. Most of what the authors are talking about are "trendy" happenings in social situations. Even those trendy new things are often stimulated by major companies (for example, most of those trendy drinks mentioned in the book start out in the market research departments of some liquor company . . . and are then seeded into trendy bars with corporate promotional efforts). In other words, the authors are ascribing behavior to everything that only applies to some things.

Third, the authors also draw unnecessarily on shock value. Early on there is a detailed description of how HBO portrayed the new torture chic (involving intimate parts of the anatomy). How is that a positive deviation?

Fourth, in describing the application to businesses over a third of the material comes across sounding like an ad for their consulting services. That wouldn't be so bad, except that the examples mostly seem to be ones that the companies didn't use very long . . . or never started with. Those examples don't even seem to add credibility to the process.

Fifth, the authors are very interested in businesses creating new business models, usually through focusing on a new core insight into what will reward stakeholders (customers, end users, employees, shareholders, lenders, distributors, partners, etc.). But they make almost no attempt as to how to take the new core insight and apply it into making a new business model for that organization. In other words, the hard part is left out. That is surprising, because the authors describe many continuing business model innovators like Richard Branson, Dell Computer, Red Hat, and Harley-Davidson. Most companies will need a lot more guidance than this book provides for how to apply these lessons.

Ultimately, the book seems flawed more by a lack of editing than anything else. It's almost as though the editors did not have the right knowledge of business and organizations to make the material both comprehensible and relevant.

After you finish this interesting book, I suggest that you think about how you can listen more carefully to what those who are different from you are saying. Who are you ignoring now? How can you start understanding them better? If you do those things, this book will be a winner for you.

Embrace Risk.......2003-07-22

The Deviant's Advantage-Ryan Mathews and Watts Wacker

What I love about this book is that while it makes a strong case for the importance of deviant thinking in the world of business, it simultaneously explains why so little exists there, and how unlikely it is to ever appear in great abundance. It's just not the way most of the people in the corporate world have been conditioned to behave. Despite all the exhortations to "think out of the box", the vast majority of executives are simply out of their element anywhere else but inside one.
However, as the authors deconstruct the emergence of new and valuable ideas, those things destined to become the next "new" thing, they offers many pointers on how to identify these developing trends before they become mainstream. In so doing, they also coin an especially inelegant term for the originators of these ideas, the "devox" is what they call them. But this is a minor blemish on what is otherwise a truly important book. At the end of the day, what the authors argue brilliantly and illustrate repeatedly is that businesses that embrace risk may be far safer than those that avoid it.

beware consultants gushing over their patrons........2003-07-02

Here's an idea: go back to all your clients with big budgets and write a book that vomits viscous, sickening praise all over them. CEOs, especially wanna-be celebrities like Branson just LOVE to be feted. This isn't a book, it's a direct-mail piece.

I got through about 50 or so pages when I realized that life was too short. Interesting how the great geniuses of our time can't seem to cover the basics. Here's a clue-- everyone has wacky ideas-- they're written down on cocktail napkins everywhere. "Thinking out of the box" and all of its related concepts contributes to success about as much as regular bowel movements. Just once, I'd like to see someone write about "committment to follow through" or "excellence in implementation", but I suppose such ideas are too vulgar to be considered by high thinkers.
