Inflation, Deflation and Friction force on onion

Inflation, deflation(negative inflation) these are the economic terms which never attract any attention of science or Engineering graduate, and our early childhood we always ignore the page of Business and Economy of daily news paper, as a Mechanical Engineer i was fond of the forces(classical mechanics). As a normal S&T geek, i only used to surf the news paper from front page to directly sports page and further check some pictures of beautiful useless celebrity(female) in film section. My brother was in medical grad school so, as his motivation, i also used to pretend my self as S&T geek, tried to read all scientific magazines subscribed in our home and later my pretending attitude eventually made me interested in to science and technology. That leaded me to engineering school as a Mechanical Engineering graduate.

Back to my high school days, my home was isolated from the city and a single house was situated just center of the big farm site(politically isolated from the community). In the evening my father's office friends used come to our home for chatting as normal political (from local to international issues), and i considered my self as an intelligent student. Instead of study i used seat with my father, ignoring my mother's advices(shouting), I used participate in the discussion over the Gulf war to the Chechnya, J&K and Indian electoral candidates' fate on the table of our drawing room.
the only realization of my intelligence to me was nothing but, my parents' fake ego satisfaction among their friends, with my school grades. This flashback which associated with my exposure to only S&T and Politics, although my sister was having major subjects like economics and commerce, but i couldn't motivated in to in, possibly because i never had a scarcity with resources, apart of that it was not interesting to me because it was not physically visible as the normal forces, i could feel with mechanisms.

The world economy downturn of 2008 drew my attention to economics. That was the only time when, i had started my spiritual journey after quitting the job. Every day, news papers were talking about the deflation, that motivated me to know about economics, and first time i tried to understand the definition of inflation and deflation keeping all mechanical forces aside specially my favorite force of Friction. Government from all over the globe and the economist were in the havoc because of negative inflation. As normal Indian guy who has no idea about the stock pricing and economics, i was really happy that we got negative inflation and the goods will be cheaper. cheers have party!!. but later i understood these economists consider, the positive inflation as a significance of economical growth of the world and for the particular country, so means the expansion of the economy was seized. And than i realized the importance of the page of Business and Economy which i ignores in my child hood and connection with politics. Politics which helps countries to go for war for there economic benefits. This is December 2010 and food (onion) price are flying high just like , same as a young boy used to fly high after six puffs of Marijuana. The inflation rate is 12.13% and again the political parties looking towards the economists and every one is in havoc, i don't know what happened to there economic growth now the inflation positive, but again the constipating economic situation.

So coming back to my engineering basics, what i read in basic thermodynamics that universe entropy is increasing and entropy is nothing but measure of randomness. We can put in other way that all processes are irreversible, we can also put in other way that all processes have irreversibility in the form of losses also. If we imagine that earth(onion) is on an inclined plane, why on inclined plane?, because it will be having dynamic enjoyment in all the aspect, means rolling, along the change with elevation too. Elevation is nothing but kind of more utility derivation, and that is nothing but the measure of our happiness. Which is also considered as economic growth. That requires some kind of rolling effect and in that process, every point on the surface of globe which passes an touches the inclined plane is in static friction condition. But if the world economics and politics will push globe hard over the optimum force. It will start skidding on the plane and with increased irreversibility in the process, the bottom surface will be heated . Than all the economist and politician in will be in the havoc. The basic reason behind that is, human always consider that politics and economics are intelligent. But apparently these are the fake ego of human race with wrong notion of economic development. same as that my parents had with me with my intelligence !!

note: After receiving initial feed back from the readers, i understood that most of the people has considered the first two paragraph as crap, and that needs more explanation. First two paragraph writer is exposed to only politics and science so his view point is political and scientific to see the world, further he exposed to economics and spirituality so the meaning of rolling and static friction condition of the each point on globe is nothing but talking about sustainable(achieving close to reversible Process) and spiritual development of human race,
achieving the joy, rather materialistic happiness resultant of instantaneous economic development.

Correlation of science and economics was a good idea..only thing gets stronger is that 'science is truth while economics continues to be hokum created by humans'

@Amritash: appreciated your thoughts.. but economics is nothing but resultant of human behavior applied on the physics(physical world e.g. resources) and human behavior is also truth. Apparently, science is also created by human to satisfy there curiosity related to this cosmos as a to under stand the physical phenomenon.
