Gold over the LONG Run

A follow up from last week's post "A View from the Gold Perspective", the chart below shows the price of consumer goods / services in gold terms since 1800. As I mentioned in my previous post (and can be seen below):
The Great Depression was a deflationary environment as the dollar was backed by gold. Today, rather than deflation in dollar and gold terms, we have a disconnect between the dollar (slight inflation) and gold (massive deflation) in terms of goods / services.
