I. Прочитайте и переведите текст со словарём. William Philips W. Philips was born in 1914. He was a New Zealand economist who spent most of his academic career as a professor of economics at the London School of Economics (LSE). His best-known contribution to economics is the Phillips curve, which he first described in 1958. Many economists in the advanced industrial countries believed that his results showed that there was a stable relationship between inflation and unemployment. One implication of this for government policy was that governments could control unemployment and inflation. One could tolerate a reasonably high rate of inflation as this would lead to lower unemployment. For example, monetary policy and/or fiscal policy could be used to stimulate the economy, raising gross domestic product and lowering the unemployment rate. Moving along the Phillips curve, this would lead to a higher inflation rate, the cost of enjoying lower unemployment rate.
