“Good evening. I want to have a frank talk with you tonight about our most serious domestic problem. That problem is inflation. Inflation can threaten all the economic gains we’ve made, and it can stand in the way of what we want to achieve in the future.
This has been a long-time threat. For the last 10 years, the annual inflation rate in the United States has averaged 6-1/2 percent. And during the three years before my inauguration, it had increased to an average of 8 percent.

Assume the graph represents the Japanese economy during the first quarter of 2014. Use the information from the seventh paragraph of the Washington Post article Japan Recession, Europe Stagnation Cast Pall over Global Economic Outlook to demonstrate how the policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe affected the economy in the subsequent quarters of 2014.
The graph depicts aggregate demand (AD), short‑run aggregate supply (SRAS), and long‑run aggregate supply (LRAS). LRAS is sometimes labeled potential output.
