1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:02,730
when the prices of goods and services go

2
00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:03,300
down

3
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:06,150
we have deflation lower prices may seem

4
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:08,099
like a blessing but deflation is

5
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:10,559
actually a curse because it generates a

6
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:13,290
vicious circle if prices go down the

7
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:15,150
profits of businesses tend to go down

8
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:17,970
with them and the economy suffers a lot

9
00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:19,770
of people therefore either lose their

10
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:22,050
jobs or have to accept lower wages and

11
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:24,180
what do people do when they have less

12
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:27,300
money they consume less what happens if

13
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,670
people consume less there's less demand

14
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:31,980
for goods and services and once the

15
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,350
consequence of reduced demand you've

16
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:37,140
guessed an even bigger deflation problem

17
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,629
but camp those who haven't lost their

18
00:00:39,629 --> 00:00:41,760
jobs or had a decrease in income spend

19
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,129
more to compensate while they could

20
00:00:44,129 --> 00:00:47,190
that's probably not going to happen why

21
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:49,649
for the simple reason that seeing your

22
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:51,420
neighbor faced financial difficulties

23
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:53,699
makes you more pessimistic as well and

24
00:00:53,699 --> 00:00:56,070
therefore even those who haven't yet

25
00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:58,680
suffered income or job loss will become

26
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,590
more cautious and consume less there you

27
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:06,080
have it vicious circles 101
