What effect do consumer-protection regulations have on the circle flow of the free market system?

Consumer-protection regulations aim to enhance buyer safety and promote fair practices, thereby fostering trust in the market.

An increase in the money supply typically leads to demand-side inflation, as more money in circulation can boost consumer spending and demand for goods and services. However, if the increase in money supply also leads to higher production costs (e.g., due to increased wages or material costs), it can contribute to supply-side inflation. Ultimately, the context and underlying economic conditions determine the primary type of inflation that may arise.
