Read this passage from "The Value of Money."
But certain products can and do deflate without affecting a country’s economy. The technology industry is a good example. Prices for computers, televisions, and phones decrease over time.

They are compared and contrasted.
They are connected by cause and effect.

According to "The Value of Money," why is it correct to state that wages have kept up with inflation when it comes to stamp prices between 1952 and 2018?
The cost of stamps rose dramatically between 1952 and 2018, while wages remained stable during that period and did not rise.
The cost of stamps went down between 1952 and 2018, while the amount of money people earned went up during that period.

Think about what you’ve read and interpret the information to answer the question.
Why do governments seek to prevent counterfeiting?
Counterfeiting causes cryptocurrencies to lose their value, which can prevent wages from keeping up with inflation.
Counterfeiting stops governments from printing money, which causes supply shock and rapidly rising prices.
Counterfeiting causes higher unemployment among those who design and create paper money, and it leads to deflation.
Counterfeiting allows people to buy goods with fake money, and a major counterfeiting operation could cause inflation.

Simply printing more money without removing the old money would cause deflation and supply shock to occur.
Allowing the old money to stay in circulation and printing more would increase the money supply and could lead to inflation.
