Re: "When there is an increase in price level, real money supply decreases and raises interest rates." - where did you get that set of ideas from? Makes no sense to me at all.

# Causality: Money supply and prices

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-04)

When there is an increase in price level, real money supply decreases and raises interest rates.

In a similar situation, when money supply decreases, interest rates increases, consumption decreases, demand is reduced and price levels decreases.

In both cases, money supply decreased, yet the price levels have conflicting eventualities, why?

Also, if you continue down the analysis, it goes a full cycle. Does this mean that inflation is self-defeating since it eventually cancels itself out?
