Government Finance and Economic Consequences
A country's government consistently faces significant budget deficits, meaning its spending far exceeds its tax revenue.

Impact of Monetary Base Size on Inflation
A country's government is running a persistent fiscal deficit, meaning its expenditures are higher than its revenues. Additionally, both domestic and international investors are unwilling to lend to the government due to a history of defaults. Under these circumstances, why might the government choose to finance its deficit by creating new money, despite the significant risk of high inflation?
A country with a long history of funding its budget deficits by creating new money, leading to chronic high inflation, decides to adopt a new monetary system. Under this system, the value of its domestic currency is legally fixed to a stable foreign currency, and the central bank is prohibited from issuing new domestic currency unless it is fully backed by an equivalent amount of foreign currency reserves. How does this new system primarily impact the government's ability to finance its spending?
