By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services.

La historia demuestra, sin embargo, que un banco central inteligente puede proteger a la economía y al sector financiero de los efectos secundarios más desagradables de un colapso bursátil.
