Money and Business Money and Business CyclesCycles
• Evidence suggests that money plays an important role in generating business cycles
• Recessions (unemployment) and booms (inflation) affect all of us
• Monetary Theory ties changes in the money supply to changes in aggregate economic activity and the price level

Money and InflationMoney and Inflation
• The aggregate price level is the average price of goods and services in an economy
• A continual rise in the price level (inflation) affects all economic players
• Data shows a connection between the money supply and the price level
