100 points? Why was Europe's economy temporarily bad?

Deflation is when the general price levels in a country are falling—as opposed to inflation when prices rise.

If deflation occurs, people choose to hold on to savings instead of spending it today, since prices will be lower tomorrow—even lower next week, and even lower in a month.
