Discussion- Keynesian vs. Classical - Econ
Identify a period in history when any government in the world applied Keynesian economic methods in trying to stimulate their economy. (Do not use the Great Depression as an example). Address the following:
1. Identify and describe the Keynesian actions.
2. Explain why the government chose to apply these measures.
3. Analyze the results of these actions both in the short run and long run (address issues like GDP components, multiplier effect, taxes, employment, inflation, interest rates, national debt)
4. Theorize how the outcome might have differed if the government had followed a more classical (hands off) economic plan.
