Can deflation effects be minimised if you dont inform the public about it?
Since one of the main problems with deflation is that people know that their money is gonna be worth more in the future, so they just save it, and then it all goes downhill because businesses start struggling.
But what if, hypothetically, you dont report the deflation? of course, some people would notice a lot of things getting cheaper, but some people wouldnt notice and so they would keep spending and minimise the negative effects of deflation, right?
The answer is probably no, and it seems like a stupid question but i dont understand why it wouldnt work.
