  • The question and answer will be published here so that everyone can see it (including your teacher!)
  • I aim to try and simplify economics; as a rough guide, I would aim at an understanding similar to a good British A Level student.

  1. This isn’t a question, it’s a comment on the topic of your post on Trade Not Aid. You say in the very beginning that it’s based around free trade. But it’s not. This concept was developed around FAIR trade. There’s a massive difference between the two. Free trade focuses on the reduction of barriers and policies that favor certain countries or industries. Fair trade focuses on the rights of workers, improved working conditions and fair payment of goods. Fair trade goes a lot farther than aid by providing long-term economic opportunities for artisans, farmers, and producers in developing countries. So yeah, trade – as long as it’s fair – is better than aid.

What I don’t understand is how each individual type of bank deposit affect the supply of money. What is the difference between how each of them affect the supply of money. Can you please help explain.
