This document discusses macroeconomic concepts including: - The quantity theory of money equation Mv=PY and how inflation is caused by increases in the money supply. - The costs of inflation including uncertainty, redistribution from lenders to borrowers, and tax bracket creep. - The aggregate demand-aggregate supply model and how recessions occur when aggregate demand decreases. - The ideas of classical economists like Adam Smith and keynesian economists like John Maynard Keynes about macroeconomics and unemployment. - How reducing the money growth rate can lower inflation over time by shifting aggregate demand to the left along the aggregate supply curve.
