DEMAND-DRIVEN BUSINESS CYCLES: Business cycle instability caused by changes in one or more of the four aggregate demand expenditures on gross domestic product--consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports. This is one of two basic types of business cycles; the other being supply-drive business cycle. Demand-driven business cycles tend to be the more common of the two types. In general, demand-driven business cycles are more responsible for short-term instability, while supply-driven business cycles tend to be more closely associated with long-run changes in the economy.

PRINT AND MINT: A handy phrase for one method of controlling the money supply -- printing paper currency and minting metal coins. This was the method commonly used by governments BEFORE checkable deposits became a significant share of the money supply. In modern times the total quantity of money in circulation is controlled by controlling bank reserves and money creation process of banks. The print and mint method is largely used just to "fill in the gaps" and when the nonbank public decides to transfer money from checkable deposits to currency and coins.
