[edit] POV tag

This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 23:47, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

I think I've more commonly heard references to 'asset price inflation' than to 'assets inflation'. Might be a better title? --Rinconsoleao (talk) 09:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] General concerns about this article

"Asset price inflation is an economic phenomenon denoting a rise in price of assets, as opposed to ordinary goods and services."

Ordinary goods are also assets.

"Under free market capitalism, assets inflation has particularly affected the financial sphere (e.g. derivatives, dot-com bubble, boom and bust, etc.)."

Boom and bust is a "financial sphere"?

"However, it is also spilling over into the 'real' economy, particularly the housing market."

Derivatives are already non-monetary items or part of the "real" or non-monetary economy as opposed to the monetary economy. There is thus no spilling over into the "real" economy.

"This is the result of the following changes to the world economy:

• deregulation
• globalisation
• financialisation."

This statement needs to be referenced.

"Many people find it bizarre that, while general inflation is seen as "bad", house price inflation is seen as "good"."

The term general inflation meaning the rise in the general price level is used in the same sentence with the term "house price inflation" where inflation simply means an increase in the average price of houses. PennySeven (talk) 17:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Creating the Inflation (a price increase) article was an unintentional mistake on my part.PennySeven (talk) 10:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Asset price inflation is asset price increase

Asset price inflation is asset price increase, the same as inflation (a price increase) PennySeven (talk) 18:38, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
