Abstract
In the original language
The author reverts the current mainstream discussion of deflation hampering economic growth. The author first revises the definition inflation that is often misinterpreted. He shows that deflation is a natural phenomenon that often follows periods of unsustainable asset-price bubbles. He also argues that by labeling economic policy as anti-deflationary,"many governmental policies lead to inflationary policies that destroy the wealth of individuals.
