economic_calculation_problem;Economic calculation problem;;;;;;;;;;;;;
economic_calculation_problem_desc;"The economic calculation problem is a criticism of using economic planning as a substitute for market-based allocation of the factors of production. It was first proposed by Ludwig von Mises who describes the nature of the price system under capitalism and describes how individual subjective values are translated into the objective information necessary for rational allocation of resources in society. He argues that economy planning necessarily leads to an irrational and inefficient allocation of resources. Mises argued that the pricing systems in socialist economies were necessarily deficient because if a public entity owned all the means of production, no rational prices could be obtained for capital goods as they were merely internal transfers of goods and not ""objects of exchange"", unlike final goods.";;;;;;;;;;;;;

This is why they advocated a non-interventionist approach, one of targeting a pre-specified path for the money supply independent of current economic conditions;;;;;;;;;;;;;

new_inflation_theory;New Inflation Theory;;;;;;;;;;;;;
new_inflation_theory_desc;Today, most economists favor a low and steady rate of inflation. Low (as opposed to zero or negative) inflation reduces the severity of economic recessions by enabling the labor market to adjust more quickly in a downturn, and reduces the risk that a liquidity trap prevents monetary policy from stabilising the economy. The task of keeping the rate of inflation low and stable is usually given to monetary authorities. Generally, these monetary authorities are the central banks that control monetary policy through the setting of interest rates, through open market operations, and through the setting of banking reserve requirements.;;;;;;;;;;;;;
