Considering the current state of the economy and what you know about monetary policy, do you think the Federal Reserve should in

crease interest rates, decrease interest rates, or keep interest rates constant? Why?
History

When interest rates are increased, borrowing money becomes more expensive. This translates into both individuals and buisnesses having to slow down their enconomic growth, because financing their activities or production also becomes more expensive.

The Federal Reserve has the <u>double-task</u> of keeping prices manageable in a flourishing economy while keeping unemployment as low as possible. When there's inflation, it's been proven that slowing down the economy by increasing interest rates, tends to reduce inflation. That's why it's a good option. We have to keep in mind, however, that this will raise unemployment as a collateral effect.

As you can see, there's no easy answer when it comes to balancing all factors at the same time.

Hope this helps!

Superstitions allotted the black death
Inga [223]
Superstitions allotted the black death to the Devil.
According to superstitious people, the Black Death was caused by the Devil himself. The Black Death, also known as the Black Plague, refers to a series of pandemic diseases which took the lives of almost 200 million people in Eurasia over the years from 1347 to 1351. The actual cause of the plague was the lack of hygiene, helped by the outbreak of <em>Yersinia pestis</em>, bacteria carried by rats, rather than Satan himself, as was commonly believed.
