Monetary Policy
In the attached resource files, there is a chart that outlines three perspectives on how the economy should be run: the mainstream macroeconomics perspective, the monetarism perspective and the rational expectation perspective. Which one of these approaches do you most agree with? What in Macroeconomics supports your point-of-view?
The view that makes the most sense is the rational expectation perspective. The reason why, is because this will take into account a number of real world factors that will have an impact upon economic growth. The most notable include: the private economy is stable when you are at the natural unemployment rate, there can be unexpected shocks to aggregate demand / aggregate supply over the short-term, cost push inflation is fueled by the lack of growth in the money supply and changes in monetary policy will have little impact upon inflation over the short-term.

This is designed to help support the natural unemployment rate by: reducing the total impact that sudden shocks will have on the financial system (as this will have ripple effects in the economy). A good example of this can be seen with the Federal Reserve's decision to purchase $600 billion in Treasuries. This was part of an effort to ensure that there were no secondary lingering effects of the recession. At the same time, these actions were designed to address the natural rate of unemployment by: supporting continued economic growth. This would cause the unemployment rate to decline, helping the Fed to move one step closer towards achieving its goals. As a result, this is illustrating how this approach has often been used to deal with various challenges that modern central banks are facing. (Lanman)

Economics Most particularly, I discuss the economic concept of demand and supply and the determinants of both supply and demand. Further, I also discuss in significant detail the meaning of economic indicators as well as monetary and fiscal policy.
