It's always better to use straight definitions when dealing with money. It's for sure the Fed's don't want the people to be able to clearly understand when they're being screwed over.

"Eagerness to find indexes for the measurement of purchasing power silenced all scruples. Both the doubtfulness and the incomparability of the price records employed and the arbitrary character of the procedures used for the computation of averages were disregarded."

Mises said it well. I'll have to read that book :)

Beautifully explained. Looking forward to your next two letters on "when credit deflates and monetary authorities inflate in response. And what happens if the uncontrollable capacitors discharge in the midst of this. And in the third letter, how to position for it."
