Answer 1

Protecting intellectual property can lead to higher prices in two ways.

Too many or too few dollars circulating can lead to inflation or deflation of the value of money, respectively. The U.S. federal government adjusts the amount of money in circulation by lowering and raising the reserve requirement. The reserve requirement is the amount of money banks are required to maintain on hand instead of lending it to other clients or investing it. Adjusting interest rates is another way in which the U.S. government regulates the economy. Interest rates are also tied to the supply of money and affect the price of goods and services.
