and price stability could be achieved. However, without
these modifications, the present "either/or" type of situation
will continue. Price stability will be achieved only at the cost of unemployment and full-employment will be achieved
only at the cost of unstable prices. With modifications in monetary and fiscal policy however, the goal of full-employment with reasonable price stability can be achieved.
