Why Money: Making Transactions Easier
Imagine there was no money:
You would need to barter
If you want to get a certain good which you don‘t have and want to exchange something else, you need to find someone who wants just the opposite exchange
Sometimes, goods are not easily divisible (imagine you want to get some eggs, but only have a cow)
Hence, if the government can influence credit conditions, it can influence aggregate demand!
Some More Basic Thoughts About Money:
This, however, is only true if inflation is low to moderate
In some cases, inflation becomes so high that money is not generally accepted anymore
In these cases, people might resort to barter as money would lose value to quickly
barter: exchange of goods, services, or assets directly for other goods, services, or assets, without the use of money.
Where Do Hyperinflations Come From?
Hyperinflation usually happens if the government starts using the printing press to pay for its expenditure (because it does not manage to collect sufficient revenue)
If the economy is large and growing and there are not too many newly printed bills, the money usually is just absorbed
However, if the governments prints too much money, there will be hyperinflation
