How does soft money affect prices?
• The supply of silver or greenbacks is greater than the supply of gold.
• The greater the money supply, the less the price/value of each dollar.
• If the supply of money increases, prices go up, each dollar buys less.
• With inflation, lenders are repaid in less valuable dollars. They lose.

Winners and Losers

Three tools of monetary policy
• Discount rate
• Reserve requirement
• Open market operations
![Page 11: Monetary Policy. The Price Level is determined by: The relationship between the amount of money in circulation and the amount of goods and services in](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649c4f5503460f948f5a04/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How the FED influences the money supply
• Increase the money supply– Lower the discount
rate
– Lower the reserve requirement
– Buy bonds
• Decrease the money supply– Raise the discount rate
– Raise the reserve requirement
– Sell bonds

Hard vs Soft Money
• Hard Money
– gold
– prevents inflation
– benefits lenders

• Soft Money
– silver or greenbacks
– causes inflation
– benefits borrowers
– Democrats favor it
![Page 16: Monetary Policy. The Price Level is determined by: The relationship between the amount of money in circulation and the amount of goods and services in](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033105/56649c4f5503460f948f5a04/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Logic
• Soft Money (greenbacks or silver) causes inflation
• Hard money (gold) causes price stability or deflation
• Borrowers (farmers and workers)like soft money Lenders (bankers) like hard money
