PASSAGE I J.K Galbraith has described the current inflation as a “revolt of the rich against the poor”. Richard Parker supports this view with the claim that it is the richest people that benefit by inflation: while the rest, especially the poorest, suffer in proportion to their relative property. On the other hand, a 1979 study published by the Brookings Institute indicates that the lower classes are generally benefited by inflation, while the upper classes lose. The confusion over who suffers from inflation is extended to other questions such as the major causes of inflation. In addition to the proponents of the demand theory, there are many who doubt whether inflation is essentially an economic problem at all. Konard Kellen holds that inflation is not an economic problem but a psychological one. Paul Samuelson cites a social factor, the evaluation of a more humane society, as a root cause of inflation. 48. What does the author believe? a. Only the rich suffer from inflation b. Only the poor suffer from inflation c. Both the rich and the poor suffer from inflation d. It is debatable as to who suffers from inflation 49. From the passage, which one of the following may be inferred? a. The effect of inflation can be studied with scientific precision b. The effect of inflation cannot be studied with scientific precision c. Economists are biased towards the rich or the poor d. The effect of inflation varies from place to place, and people to people 50. On the basis of the information given in the passage, what are the causes of inflation? a. Essentially economic b. Essentially psychological c. Essentially social d. Highly controversial 51. How des the author write? a. Objectively b. Critically c. Sympathetically d.
