OBS

... en un régimen de paridad fija, toda expansión del crédito interno que sobrepase el crecimiento de la demanda de dinero da lugar a una pérdida gradual pero constante de reservas internacionales y, en definitiva, a un ataque especulativo sobre la moneda, que agota inmediatamente las reservas y obliga a las autoridades a abandonar la paridad.

  • Currency and Foreign Exchange

DEF

Governments are able to finance public deficits in three ways : by issuing public bonds, increasing taxes and monetary supply. The third system is often the least problematic, however also the most harmful, given its effects on inflation.

Politique de financement du déficit public grâce à l'augmentation de l'argent en circulation.

OBS

(...) it is not irrational of them [the people] to feel wealthier because of the public debt(since they need count on paying taxes for debt interest only though their remaining lifetime). This increase in the CC propensity to consume could be at the expense of net capital formation in a full employment post war year, requiring contractionary M policy that hurts investment.
