> Your investment into the general market is really only the amount of interest earned on deflation of that amount.

Your investment is the whole amount which would have purchased the 3 components of production (land/labor/capital), because the price of all these goods have fallen, which have allowed other entrepreneurs to buy them for their own investment.

What you're saying is like telling people who invest in index funds only that their investment is only the interest on the yearly return they get from the fund.
