: Why would deflation be bad?

1.75K viewsEconomicsOther

(I’m American) Inflation is the rising cost of goods and services. Inflation constantly goes up by varying degrees. When economists say “inflation is decreasing”, that just means that the rate of inflation has slowed, not that inflation reversed.

If inflation is causing money to be less valuable over time, why would it be bad to have deflation? Would that not make my money more valuable? I’ve been told it would be very bad, but not in a way that I understand

Instead of inflation or deflation….just keep it the same. Everything has to grow. If they are already making profits leave it the same. Its called greed.
