English term or phrase: due to the unarrestable depreciation
EN: These "nominally respectable returns" are obtained by investing in T Bonds and similar instruments. Bond traders and investors traditionally consider these investments "risk free," which is, of course, another form of the denial of reality. In reality as David Dreman has demonstrated ('Contrarian Investment Strategy, Simon & Schuster) bonds are a kind of deteriorating asset due to the unarrestable depreciation in the commodity-denominated value of currency.

disagree  MonicaVFreit (X): A palavra unarrestable que também tem o significado de algo que não pode ser contido ou impedido, nada a tem a ver, neste contexto, com meios legais.

  -> Mónica, razão pela qual usei a palavra "contida", mas a contenção não se fica por aí: arrestable = adj. can be detained for legal reasons; can be stopped or slowed down
