This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. This essay sheds light on what is deflation, demystifies the different types of deflation, explicates what causes the occurrence of deflation in the economy, and expounds upon how the economy is affected by the occurrence of deflation in the economy. Succinctly stated, deflation is a term that delineates a reduction in the prices of products and services. A reduction in the prices of products and services amplifies the purchasing power of a fiat currency even though fiat currency is devoid of intrinsic value. The occurrence of deflation in an economy also amplifies the purchasing power of the people who are apart of the indebted economic class. Furthermore, the occurrence of deflation in an economy can also elevate the standard of living of the people who are apart of the indebted economic class. Moreover, the occurrence of deflation in an economy can also render it far less cumbersome for people who are apart of the indebted economic class to be able to generate enough revenue to be able to pay off their outstanding debts. The occurrence of deflation in an economy can immensely redound to the benefit of people who are apart of the indebted economic class. The amplification of the purchasing power of a fiat currency also concomitantly increases the purchasing power of the minimum wage. An annual increase to the minimum wage rate can further amplify the purchasing power of the minimum wage far more so in a deflationary economy than in an inflationary economy. There are a myriad of disparate types of deflation. Some of the different types of deflation encompass “demand-side deflation and supply-side deflation”. One type of deflation is demand-side deflation. Demand-side deflation transpires when the prices of products plunge as a corollary of there being a decrease in aggregate customer demand for products at their retail prices.
