deflation is a monetary phenomenon, the destruction of capital.

Are you saying someone is burning big piles of currency?

In essence yes.

We have "burned" about 7-8 Trillion in the stock markets in the last few years alone.

Large corporate bankruptcies of late have "burned" billions more of debt written off.

This results in the removal of money from
the system. This then results in too many goods
chasing too little money or price deflation.
