#110. How can inflation and deflation happen at once?
Description
Deflation from technology, but prices still increase.
In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss deflation due to improvements in technology. They use computers, TVs, and cars as analogies for real estate, education, and healthcare. Even if prices of new cars aren't going down, it's the benefits and value that have driven the increases in prices. They guess how it may be possible for the cost of education to trend toward zero, while a four-year university can continue to outpace the CPI.
