The village of Sukhsagar fell into an economic downturn after a respected pundit predicted job losses. Villagers began hoarding money instead of spending, causing demand and economic activity to nosedive. A government official announced a policy of quantitative easing by making unlimited, low-interest money available to revive spending. As villagers started buying goods again, producers returned and the economy regained momentum. Quantitative easing works by increasing the money supply to boost confidence and circulation in the economy.
