A more recent, but very serious problem for government policy-makers is the strong “inflation psychology” which has developed since the mid-1970′s, which causes people to seek large wage and salary increases in attempts to protect themselves against inflation. By adding substantially to cost-push inflationary pressures, “inflation psychology” creates special problems for monetary and fiscal policy.
First, by steadily increasing the cost of the GNP, these cost-push pressures force the Bank of Canada to continue to increase the money supply at inflationary rates in order to avoid an economic downturn due to inadequate demand, thus maintaining inflation at high rates. Furthermore, “inflation psychology” is strong risks touching off an explosion of wage demands and price increases, while strong cost-push pressures on prices make inflation very resistant to policies that depress aggregate demand.
Thus, “inflation psychology” tends to significantly reduce the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies in dealing with both inflation and recession. It is ironic that this problem resulted from excessive use of these policies in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s, when excessive monetary and fiscal stimulation in many nations generated the strong “inflation psychology” that has undermined the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies themselves.

Because so much (about 30 percent) of the respending effect of the multiplier is drained off by imports when Canadian authorities inject additional demand into the economy, the multiplier effect is quite small. As a result,policies intended to stimulate the Canadian economy have less impact on output and employment in Canada than Canadian authorities would like.
In summary, the heavy exposure of the Canadian economic policy-makers. In particular, the importance of exports and of foreign capital inflows places significant limitations on Canadians authorities in deciding monetary and fiscal policies, forcing them to consider not only domestic Canadian problems, but also international factors, when formulating policies.

The causes of inflation are complex, interwoven and difficult to separate. The most basic factor determining the rate of inflation is the rate of growth of the money supply, which in turn determines the degree of excess demand present in the economy. However, there are different reasons why the money supply might increase rapidly enough to generate rapid inflation. Some people view the basic cause as excessive stimulation of the economy by government monetary and fiscal policies, while others emphasize that cost-push pressures from big business and labor unions can virtually force the government to increase the money supply, in order to avoid a recession, by providing the economy with enough purchasing power to buy all of its output at the higher prices caused by the “wage-space spiral.” While there are elements of truth in both of these viewpoints, most economists tend to place more emphasis on demand-pull pressures originating in government policies as the basic cause of inflation, and view cost-push pressures as a contributing factor to inflation rather than the basic cause.
On a more fundamental level, both the demand-pull and cost-push theories of inflation are related to the unrealistic expectations of people and to their attempts – as workers, consumers, business persons and government leaders – to get more out of the economy than the economy can produce. When such unrealistic demands are placed on the economy – either in terms of excessive spending or in terms of excessive increases in incomes – the result will inevitably be inflation.

The monetary and fiscal policies described above will slow down inflation, but by depressing aggregate demand they will also slow down the economy, causing unemployment to rise. In particular, the high interest rates associated with tight money are likely to depress capital investment spending and the capital-goods industries, including housing. Thus, combating inflation with monetary and fiscal policies involves the sacrifice of other important economic goals, such as full employment and economic growth.
As a result, these anti-inflation policies (high interest rates, scarce credit, cuts in government spending) and their side effects (slower growth and higher unemployment) tend to be politically unpopular, making it difficult for governments to persist in using them for long. Despite these problems, these policies, particularly monetary restraint, are generally regarded as essential to combating inflation, because only these policies attack the excessive aggregate demand that is the root cause of inflation.

To attack the basic cause of inflation, the government must restrain the growth of aggregate demand for goods and services, by using its monetary and fiscal policies.
Monetary policy
To combat inflation, the Bank of Canada should should impose a tight-money policy consisting of higher interest rates and reduced availability of credit. By slowing the growth of the money supply, such a policy will ease the pressures of excess demand on prices and thus help to restrain inflation. It is generally accepted among economists that no anti-inflation policy can succeed unless it includes control of the rate of growth of the money supply. Thus, whatever else is done to curb inflation, monetary restraint is essential, because if money is created too rapidly, its value will decline (because prices of goods and services will rise).

As pointed out earlier, the full-employment monetary and fiscal policies which the federal government has adopted since the Second World War have maintained aggregate demand at high enough levels to avoid serious recessions. While such policies keep unemployment rates relatively low, the maintenance of total spending at such high levels tend to generate some inflation. Thus, our commitment to full employment has involved, as a side effect, some inflation of a demand-pull nature.
