The fourth question is correct (D).

To understand this answer, one must understand the mechanism of correction of inflationary processes.

Inflation erodes the purchasing power, thus, the elderly with fixed income will be harmed and not beneficiaries in an inflationary process.

<u>The main mechanism to reduce inflation is the interest rate.</u> In this way, when inflation happens, the Federal Reserve raises the interest rate. This makes public bonds profitable and economic agents begin to use money by buying bonds, reducing the circulation of money and consequently lowering inflation.

For banks that have made adjustable rate loans, this will be a good thing, as interest on the contracts will increase along with the increase in the interest rate, which will make the contracts yield more. Therefore, banks will be the biggest beneficiaries. However, this will happen only when the rate is adjustable.

While servant leadership can be connected to biblical principles and Christianity, it is not exclusively tied to it. In what way

Xelga [282]

As we do not have access to this text, we cannot provide examples, citations or references of this text. However, we are able to look at what servant leadership is and how it is exercised in the world.

Servant leadership is a philosophy of leadership in which a person is considered a leader because he serves. This kind of leader puts the needs of his employees first. Moreover, his main focus is that of helping the employees thrive and develop as much as possible. According to this philosophy, instead of the people working to serve the leader, the leader exists to serve the people.
