the article discusses the balance between inflationary pressures and other economic tensions. What are some of the factors that were leading to rises in inflation?
What can be a reason why inflation is not occuring when government spending increases in an economy?
Economists sometimes argue that moderate inflation may help the economy by making wages in labor markets more       ["", "", ""]  . The discussion in the text pointed out that wages tend to be sticky in their downward movements and that unemployment can result. A little inflation could nibble away at       ["", ""]  wages, and thus help real wages to       ["", ""]  if necessary. In this way, even if a moderate or high rate of inflation may act as sand in the gears of the economy, perhaps a low rate of inflation serves as oil for the gears of the labor market. This argument is controversial. A full analysis would have to account for all the effects of inflation. It does, however, offer another reason to believe that, all things considered, very low rates of inflation may not be especially harmful.
