One more comment ;)

If a market basket that costs $100 today costs $50 in ten years, that would be deflation. Not so good for those with long term contracts unless they are written with some sort of adjustment clause.

I thinks it also bears mentioning that we need to start looking at money as a tool to facilitate transactions, and NOT as a store of value to an end in itself. By only creating money to match goods and services after they have been performed/created, you've implicitly backed the money with a real/tangible value. Compared to our current system where money is created and backed only the promise to repay with interest in the future. There is nothing "real" backing today's money. The idea then is that money used as a tool will allow you to assemble your own collection of goods/services that IS your investment portfolio. It brings us one step closer to understanding Man's place and relation to the natural systems.
