Its been pointed out to me that deflation causes incomes to fall and also that debt, in real terms, rises as a  consequence. These two factors would combine to retard business investment and therefore economic growth. Is this true?

Bump.  Kaz, you may have missed my post above.  I would be very interested to hear what kinds of price deflation (according to Salerno's taxonomy) you consider to be BAD and why you disagree with Salerno.  Thanks.

Kaz, I'd also like you to respond to my last post.
