- Okay, Norbert, let's say that we live in an economy where there is a bank
- which is willing to pay 5% interest on money deposited. If anyone at
- all deposits money in that bank, his nominal wealth will increase by
- 5% iunxx in one year, right? Let's say someone else does not. The depositor
- now has 5% more nominal wealth to play with than the non-depositor,
- and is thus more able to compete in the market than he was before, whreas
- the non-edpositor hasn't changed, in terms of nominal wealth. The
- demand curve will shift, moving the quilibrium point, dragging prices
- up with it. Thsixxx This is what I "know". Where have I strayed?
