Introduction

Because it is particularly hard to distinguish the causes for or elements that lead to the state of inflation, numerous theories and conceptions have been presented for same intention. All these theories attempt to elucidate the supply and demand elements that effect in the formation of the situation of inflation. In this assignment, I will discuss two theories of inflation and its economic effects and will analyze how both theories will help in raising overall national income in the era of economic recession and unemployment.

Keynesian Theory

Monetarism Theory

Keynesian Theory

At first, the Keynesian aspect on inflation, prefaced in a publication coroneted "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" brought out during early forties.

With reference to the Keynesian theory, a growth in the basic price indexes or inflation is produced by a gain in the total demand which is in excess and over the gain in total supply. If a provided economic system is at its complete employment production charge, a gain in government consumption (G), a gain in private expenditure (C) and a gain in private investiture (I) will induce a gain in total demand; contributing towards a gain in the general price indexes.

This sort of situation of inflation is produced because of the reality that at optimal or complete employment of production (uttermost employment of hard resources) a provided economic system is not able to gain its production or total provision in reaction to a gain in total demand (Aurora, 2010).

According to Keynesian theory inflation takes place with an increase in cost or demand, when aggregate demand exceeds aggregate supply, there may be several reasons for that exceed of demand over supply, in above picture aggregate demand is exceeding aggregate supply, this increase in aggregate demand shows the demand pull inflation, there is a possibility that cut in personal income tax can increase the consumer expenditure, we have to assume that economy is nearly full employment. Moreover, Reasons for increase in demand can vary accordingly including the utilization of unemployed resources. So, the movement of curve from AD1 to AD2 is showing inflation and movement from AD1 to AD0 showing deflation.

According to the above picture, while the regime employs pecuniary and financial strategies to ameliorate complete employment of output degrees, there will be a gain in total demand degree of the economic system from AD0 toAD1 which would event in the formation of complete employment degree of balance production exemplified at the level E. ...
