Won't interest rates be low if everyone is saving?
Won't there be more investible cash because a lower percentage of one's wages is devoted to commodities, and essentials? As well, there is less of an incentive to stockpile or "get ahead" of future price increases.
So.. more left over to invest?
Does expectation of future flat or lower prices give you confidence to plan a vacation, invest extra money, etc.. or would you prefer to worry about food, gas, and other prices going up in the future? (along with your sticky wages making your real wage go down)
In fact, I 100% agree that savings and investment are key to future growth, technology and the whole enchilada. Which is why I don't support stealth tax of inflation, or of governments debasing the currency and stealing wealth from citizens.
