always operate with low, but positive inflation rates

causally explained by a central bank. not the rest of the economy.

deflation recession reee

1920 crash, stocks fell by more than in 1929. It's not an endless spiral because of the same reasons you fail to grasp. Deflation only ends in recession briefly to liquidate misallocations from the inflationary policies of your kind. Maybe the fed did something there. but I bet there are recessions that recovered absent any inflationary policy of your kind, thus disproving your ''death spiral'' theory. There is a spiral but it has an end.

"I bet there are..." Strong argument there.

And inflationary policy is not to stop recessions, it's to promote growth and prevent recessions.

Obviously, no government would lead it's own country to recession, that's why they operate with inflation and take pains to keep it in check.

And 2008 crash, too. And other countries crashes. Recessions are brief because people have incentives to get out of them, not because they "liquidate misallocations", what are you blabbering about.
