What actually happened is that there is no longet any reason to buy the top end, because the low end is enough for most people.<p>&gt;And then we have the other problems: What about rents? Debts? Wages? Do you decrease them over time, too?<p>Why should wages decrease?<p>&gt;What happens if they aren&#x27;t?<p>People have more money to spend and the additional demand further boosts the economy.<p>&gt;Who would lend money under such circumstances, if just keeping the money under your pillow will make you richer anyway, and at zero risk, too?<p>People would definitely go back to saving and away from making debts. That is not a problem, the need to invest money when there is no objective reason to do so is what leads to investment bubbles and excessive debts.
