Deflation via efficiency gain has never to my knowledge led to lower wages. People don't stop spending because they expect efficiency gain in the future, because at some point they just need food, their house, want the boat or the gaming system.

"Deflation" via business cycles and bank runs caused by Fiat money printing and contraction are not the same thing.
