Consider the case of the United States. Let’s suppose the United States decides to increase the money supply by mailing every man, woman, and child an envelope full of money. What would people do with that money? Some of that money will be saved, some might go toward paying off debt like mortgages and credit cards, but most of it will be spent. I know the first thing I’d do is go down to Walmart and buy an Xbox or PlayStation 2 (if you have an opinion of which I should buy e-mail me by using the feedback form). http://economics.about.com/cs/money/a/print_money.htm
http://www.economicshelp.org/blog/634/economics/the-problem-with-printing-money/ In the days of Idi Amin, Uganda took the risk of printing new money to bail that country’s economy out of the doldrums. The exercise backfired so catastrophically, it has taken Museveni over two decades to right the disastrous consequences. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/09/printing-more-money-can-backfire/ Everyone in Zimbabwe during its hyperinflation were under severe pressure unlike anything they had ever experienced. The government had increasingly turned to rampant money printing as a funding alternative and as this newly printed money made its way into the markets prices began to rapidly rise. http://www.moneyweb.co.za/uncategorized/the-zimbabwe-lesson-dont-print-money/ 1 Like 1 Share |
