Our history
Guinness World Records - originally the Guinness Book of Records - the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements, started out as an idea for a book of facts to solve arguments in pubs.

The idea came about in the early 1950’s when Sir Hugh Beaver (1890—1967), Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery, attended a shooting party in County Wexford.
There, he and his hosts argued about the fastest game bird in Europe, and failed to find an answer in any reference book.*
In 1954, recalling his shooting party argument, Sir Hugh had the idea for a Guinness promotion based on the idea of settling pub arguments and invited the twins Norris (1925—2004) and Ross McWhirter (1925—75) who were fact-finding researchers from Fleet Street to compile a book of facts and figures.
Guinness Superlatives was incorporated on 30 November and the office opened in two rooms in a converted gymnasium on the top floor of Ludgate House, 107 Fleet Street.
Answer:
restricting the money supply by adjusting interest rates
Explanation:
As you may already know, inflation is the term used to refer to the exaggerated and continuous increase in the price of all products present on the market in a given country. Inflation can generate a lot of economic and even social damage, for this reason, it is necessary for the government to establish strategies that reduce the level of inflation in the country.
In the short term, the strategies that the government can adopt when inflation is high are to reduce spending, but to increase taxes and raise interest rates. With that, we can say that the government restricts the money supply within the country, limiting spending, but adjusting interest rates so that they get higher. As a result, the demand for products will be less than the supply. The result of this, is a tendency to decrease the price of products.
