As mentioned in Chapter 28, the United States Federal Reserve has two mandates when setting monetary policy - keep annual inflation low (around 2-3%) and the unemployment rate low (around 5%).Typically, efforts to adjust the money supply to cause inflation to decrease causes unemployment to increase and vice versa.

Now, imagine a situation where the United States faces high inflation and high unemployment (called stagflation, was issue in late 1970s).What do you think the Federal Reserve should do in this situation?
