Question 153755 • * HSA 26-27 US Government
When the Fed decreases the money supply, borrowing and spending tend to fall. Lower spending can slow the economy and reduce pressure on prices, so inflation may stop rising or decrease; a slowdown can also cause unemployment to rise. Employers are therefore not likely to hire large numbers of workers, and durable-goods prices would not be expected to increase dramatically.
