So to stop the devaluation of
th e dollar, which is a n o th e r way
of saying to stop the increase in
prices, governm ent m ust slow up
its borrow ing a n d purchasing.
U nder norm al conditions s u c h
governm ent activ ity is obviously
lim ited. Then the fluctuation of
the d o llar value (prices) is not
g re a t and the up o r down m ove
m ent is slow. In tim e of w ar,
how ever, o r as a t present when
enorm ous m ilitary expenditures
a re being m ade or planned, the
governm ent (th e president now
has this pow er) can move prices
up or down by m erely expanding
o r reducing th e ra te of m ilitary
spending.
