A hyperinflation always reflects monetary policy.That is,the price level cannot grow rapidly unless the supply of money also grows rapidly;and hyperinflations do not end unless the government drastically reduces money growth. This explanation,however, begs a central question:Why does the government start and then stop printing lots of money? The answer almost always lies in fiscal policy:When the government has a large budget deficit(possibly due to a recent war or some other major event)that it can not fund by borrowing,it resorts to printing money to pay its bills.And only when this fiscal problem is alleviated—by reducing government spending and collecting more taxes—can the government hope to slow its rate of money growth. 5.Describe the difference between frictional unem￾ployment and structual unemployment. 5. Frictional unemployment is the unemployment caused by the time it takes to match workers and jobs.Finding an appropriate job takes time because the flow of information about job candidates and job vacancies is not instantaneous
