    Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, inflation has been a persistent, ongoing problem within the United States (Durden, 2013). Since the Federal Reserve is owned by the banks, it is not surprising that it serves the interests of the bank over the American population, and therefore goes against the idea of a free market and biblical principles (Durden, 2013). The value of money is constantly changing and it subject to manipulation by the Federal Reserve. For example, the Federal Reserve can randomly produce money, and add it to the money system, which devalues the currency already in place, and adds to inflation. This is one reason why the value of the U.S. dollar has fallen by 83 percent since 1970 (Durden, 2013).

    Unemployment in Kenya is attributed to a number of factors that include: rapid growth of the population and the labour force, skill mismatch, information problems in the labour market, structural adjustment programs, slow or declining economic growth, and the labour market setup, among others. High population growth rate in Kenya has resulted in a relatively young population and a large population of youth in the population of the working age (Njonjo, 2010).
