Apoplithorismosphobia

Chris Farrell of Scripps Howard News, for his “Sound Money” column, quotes Mark Thornton: “The stock market has largely held onto the gains of recent weeks. Apoplithorismosphobia is receding, too. That’s Greek for fear of deflation or, perhaps more correctly, the fear that deflation signals depression, says Mark Thornton, senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.”

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
