Objective 4: Examine domestic monetary policy.

Monetary policy is the use of central bank policies to influence the level of economic activity. Fiscal policy is the use of government purchases, transfer payments, and taxes to influence the level of economic activity (Principles of Macroeconomics, p. 280).

The goals of monetary policy should include the maintenance of full employment, the avoidance of inflation or deflation, and the promotion of economic growth. The monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Fed’s expansionary and contractionary monetary policy decisions affects economic growth and international trade.

Also of importance is discussion of the Equation of Exchange: How money supply relates to the aggregate economy: MV=nominal GDP.

The equation of exchange shows that the money supply M times its velocity V equals nominal GDP. Velocity is the number of times the money supply is spent to obtain the goods and services that make up GDP during a particular time period (International Economics, p.425).

Gunter Grass, his Nobel prize being revoked, and his book The Drowned and the Saved. Also the book Peeling the Onion is involved.
In August of 2006 Gunter Grass revealed to journalists that he was a member – albeit a youthful member – of the Waffen SS, a paramilitary extension of the Nazi party deemed a criminal organization by the Allied judiciary at Nuremberg. The outcry was enormous. Among other things it was suggested that the Nobel Prize bestowed upon Grass be revoked. Having read Peeling the Onion decide, to whatever extent possible, if Grass, by his own admission, is answerable to the accusations made by Levi in his The Drowned and the Saved, those Levi directs against “average” Germans. Can youth and the forces of history be cited in Grass’ defense? Does he make any sort of effort on his own behalf to excuse his conduct during the war? Is his account believable? Please cite from the two books above.
