Paul Krugman suggests easy money for Greece, like Canada...

Yes, it is right that Canada has maintained a good-level of unemployment, but never lower than 6%, nonetheless closer to five percent which has only been possible because of lower prices...

Lower inflation made it possible to lower interest-rate, and increase fiscal-deficit and debt...

The issue of currency-debasing never arised...     

The economy even with so much of private and public-spending due to low interest rate never showed signs of overheating...      

Inflation has remained below 5% from decades... and unemployment also fell considerably, but never below 6% after 80s...      

Negative current-account-deficit means surplus that shows exports are higher than imports...  

Without doubt increase in money-supply and depreciation increase exports and helped achieve close to full-employment unemployment-rate...      

More money-supply in a low-price-regime will reduce interest rate and that kept on improving supply-side and helped maintain low inflation and unemployment, and continue expansion in spending...  

Nevertheless, money-supply can work bothways... it may increase inflation and it might reduce inflation, as well... all depends on the supply-side...      

In a more developed and open economy supply-side easily improves with lower interest-rate, unless it is over-supply...      

But, in a developing and less liberalized-economy where domestic production and employment is protected by lower-prices and competition from abroad, supply-side and inflation still might be a problem to follow more money-supply and expansion...

Paul Krugman cannot always suggest easy-money...

For an emerging-economy the old quantity theory of money is still valid...

"Everybody is worried about rate cuts and nobody for lower interest rates on savings, when all save and few borrow..."

Growth is sacrificed when the value of the money is sacrificed because spending goes down due to inflation, and people buy less due to high ...
