In 1966, Milton Friedman wrote, as he often did, some memorable lines that have entered the lexicon of economic quotables. As Friedman correctly put it in a book chapter titled “What Price Guideposts?”: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, resulting from and accompanied by a rise in the quantity of money relative to output…. It follows that the only effective way to stop inflation is to restrain the rate of growth of the quantity of money.”
While true, Friedman’s classic statement doesn’t tell us anything about what drives the growth of the money supply that fuels inflation. Hyperinflations are rather rare. The first hyperinflation occurred in France, where the mandate collapsed. In August 1796, France’s monthly inflation rate peaked at 304%. Almost half of the 58 recorded hyperinflations occurred in the 1990's and were the result of the funding deficiencies associated with the new post-communist states. Today, there is only one hyperinflation, Venezuela’s.

In the late 1960s, Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps argued that
a.
the trade-off between inflation and unemployment applied in both the short run and the long run. This claim is consistent with monetary neutrality in the long run.
b.
the trade-off between inflation and unemployment did not apply in the long run. This claim is inconsistent with monetary neutrality in the long run.
c.
the trade-off between inflation and unemployment did not apply in the long run This claim is consistent with monetary neutrality in the long run.
d.
the trade-off between inflation and unemployment applied in both the short run and the long run. This claim is inconsistent with monetary neutrality in the long run.
What is the short-run relationship between the unemployment rate and inflation rate as explained by the economist Phillips?
