Why Falling Prices Can Trap an Entire Economy

About this video

Falling prices sound like a gift until shops delay orders, wages stall, and debt gets heavier in real terms. That is the deflation trap: everyone waits for cheaper tomorrow, and demand collapses today. This video sticks to the mechanism โ€” why "cheaper" can freeze an economy, how debt interacts with falling prices, and why central banks fight deflation so aggressively. Not investment advice. #deflation #economics #prices
