Deflation can be bad but I fundamentally disagree that all any amount of deflation is always bad. It depends on degree and cause. If your thesis is that hard money disincentives investment and economic activity I disagree does it mean utopia no or that recession isn’t possible no, but if you have more capital from saving eventually there is a point where it is advantageous to invest or spend. Saving then investing vs borrowing to invest.

If there was truly enough capital for investing and spending then deflation would never be a concern to begin with.
