- if an economy is running a budget deficit, and it finances it by 'printing more money', why would this create a situation where inflation may accerlerate?
printing more money will lead in an increase in supply of cash-> an increase in supply will lead to falling interest rates (from the laws of supply and demand) -> demand will rise for money since interest rates are low -> the economy may overheat due to strong aggregate demand and strong growth thus will lead to inflationary pressures -> increased demand for money will cause interest rates to rise and prices to rise (inflation sets in)
