Evaluating Economic Policy Goals
A political candidate proposes a new economic policy with a primary goal of achieving a 0% annual change in the general price level, arguing that any price increase harms consumers. Evaluate the potential public reaction to this policy compared to a policy that targets a stable, low rate of price increase (e.g., 2% per year). In your evaluation, consider the role of predictability in shaping public opinion about the economy.

Economic Policy and Public Perception
An economist is comparing two countries. Country A has experienced a steady 2% annual increase in its general price level for the past decade. Country B has seen its price level change unpredictably, with increases of 10%, -2%, and 15% in the last three years. Based on public perception, which country's population is likely to have a more stable and accepting view of their economic environment, and why?
