Correct Answer
A. RussiaExplanation
During the 1930s, the great depression had a significant impact on the global economy, including many European countries. However, Russia, which was then known as the Soviet Union, remained relatively unaffected by the economic downturn. This can be attributed to the Soviet Union's economic system, which was based on central planning and state control. The government implemented policies that prioritized industrialization and self-sufficiency, which helped shield the country from the worst effects of the great depression. Additionally, the Soviet Union had limited economic ties with the rest of the world, which further insulated it from the crisis.Rate this question:

- B.

- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
A. Opposite directionExplanation
The Phillips curve is an economic concept that suggests a trade-off between inflation and unemployment. According to the traditional Phillips curve, there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation, meaning that when unemployment is high, inflation tends to be low, and vice versa. This relationship is based on the idea that as the labor market tightens and unemployment decreases, workers have more bargaining power, leading to higher wages and increased demand, which can result in higher inflation. Conversely, when unemployment rises, there is less pressure on wages and demand, leading to lower inflation.Rate this question:
