Ohio University economist E T Hellebrandt told the Athens Lions Club that restrained buying could reduce rapid money circulation and lessen the danger of inflation. He said inflation is about rising prices, not total money in circulation, noting deficit financing since 1930 fed into banks and contributed to mild inflation.
