The financial mind is a very sensitive thing. Complementing this professional and political attitude is the firmly forbidden fact. It is that many in the modern economy are quite comfortable with recession, the underemployment equilibrium, and greatly prefer it to the measures that might bring it to an end. In the underemployment equilibrium, prices are relatively stable. People on pensions or Social Security find this entirely agreeable.
Many professionals have similarly secure incomes.
They too find relief from the threat of inflation. Farmers, once a large, even dominant part of the population, suffered severely in past times from depression. Now fewer in number, they are extensively released from worry about recession by government-guaranteed prices. The most relaxed response may well be in the modern large corporate enterprise. There, from the corporate bureaucracies, one reads daily of surplus staff being shed.
