Of the two, deflation is the opposite of inflation and which one is better for inflation and deflation, I think both are bad for society. But inflation is a lesser evil, Inflation is unfair, deflation is unwise and deflation is worse.
Inflation causes price increases and a redistribution of income to benefit the wealthier class, whereas deflation causes a decrease in output, employment, and income. Of all the evils in capitalist society, unemployment leading to poverty is the worst.
