Government can make money to be scarce to suffer the citizens, or to prevent corruption, I believe that when their is scarcity of money it come from government for their political obligations to come to reality, we all know that government have every right to print money at any point in time, so I believe that scarcity of money affects a country because of political plans that is ongoing to that environment, so therefore I believed its people who is power strategic way of depriving people ways of achieving their own motive in politics.
What the fuck are you talking about? The OP was a bit confusing to understand now you come along with this? A government can not find a more effective way to make its citizens suffer then to make money scarce? Surely the government could be more creative than that if they truly want to make its citizens suffer greatly. I also fail to see how the scarcity of money would prevent corruption in any way. Corruption would still find a way to thrive.
Do you think the government would just print more money on a whim?
It depends on the government that governor's your country, so many of us render or gives suggestions base on our understanding or our experience of our countries kind of leadership, so government can seized a currency with implementation of new policy in order to suffer the masses, so it depends where you from, because I believe that bad government always make things difficult to her country citizens, some of them did it intentional and unintentional.
