Readers Questions IV

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics. However, due to volume of questions, I can no longer promise to answer all questions.

I will post the answer on this blog, for everyone to benefit from.

I shall try to answer the economics question and / or point to other resources but please bear in mind.

  1. The replies will be guidance and not for duplication. Your essays should be your own work.
  2. My speciality is economics for British A Level standard. My university economics is rusty in parts, because generally I don’t use it in teaching A level economics.
  3. I can’t guarantee to always give full answers it also depends on my time schedule.
  4. I will answer as a new post. Check home page of blog for new post. With question and answers
  5. Generally, I don’t answer questions, which involve mathematical calculations, they tend to be doing someone’s homework. however, I may give examples, of calculations, if I think it helps explain economics principles.

I studied PPE at Lady Margaret Hall college, Oxford University, and currently work as an Economics A Level teacher. I have also examined several different economic units for Edexcel AS and A2.

    I have a question which confused me for a long time.
    Recently, Zimbabwe’s central bank decided to delete 12 zeros of their currency to deal with the Hyperinflation problem. I just have an intuition that this action doesn’t work as the purchasing power of the currency remains unchanged. Can you tell me the reason why it doesn’t work?
