Answer to Question 1

Monetarists believe that the economy is self-regulating and will typically operate at full employment if monetary policy is not erratic and the money growth rate is kept steady. The major source of business cycle fluctuations are similar to the Keynesian view, that is, changes in aggregate demand combined with a sticky money wage rate. However, according to monetarists, the changes in aggregate demand are the result of fluctuations in the growth rate of money caused by the Federal Reserve. Monetarists assert that the proper government policies are low taxes, to avoid the disincentive effects stressed by classical macroeconomists, and steady monetary growth.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
