I said deflationary meaning less inflation.
But also, deflation doesn't stop people spending, it just means the dollar is "worth" more goods, and can stretch further. Can buy more stuff. Inflation means goods cost more, and the dollar is worth less. Can buy less stuff.
These are measures of price. Prices go up = inflation. Prices go down = deflation.
Japan has been in a deflationary economy for 30 years or so, and people were buying and selling stuff the whole time.
