 | | With fiscal policy, however, government could provide the needed increased spending by decreasing taxes, increasing government spending, increasing individuals' incomes. | | | However, the intensity of the economic crisis convinced him that before the world situation could be dealt with, the United States would have to put its own fiscal house back in order. | | | Governments worldwide sought economic recovery by adopting restrictive autarkic policies such as high tariffs, import quotas and barter agreements and by experimenting with new plans for their internal economies. |

| | The Great Economic Depression of 1929 |
| | With prices falling, unemployment high and economic activity stagnating, deliberate deficit spending would have provided stimulation to the economy, however the contrary was done, expenditures were reduced to a minimum and additional taxes were imposed. | | | Doing so proved impossible because the depression caused tax revenues to decline at the same time that the government was being forced to spend more in relief for the needy. | | | The most universal example of counterproductive government policy was the effort to keep a balanced budget. |

| | Economic Depression |
| | The economic rebound is based on continued strength in consumer spending, and along with it, a robust housing market. | | | The cheap and abundant credit led to companies and consumers leveraging their balance sheet; while the government sucked money out of the economy through massive tax hikes in 1991 and again in 1993. | | | This was explained by most as a simple inventory build due to a slowdown in sales. |

| | For example, between December 1974 and June 2002, the proportion of the value of outstanding U.S. equities and long-term debt securities that was foreign-owned increased from about 5 percent to about 12 percent.1 During the same period, the value of these foreign holdings increased from $67 billion to almost $4 trillion. | | | The dollar standard has also accelerated economic globalization and placed America firmly at the center of global economic activity especially from a monetary perspective. | | | Yet China has economic problems of its own, its CPI is over 5% and wholesale prices are running at over 6%. |

| | Will there be an Economic Recession, Depression, or Stock Market Crash in 2006 or 2007? - How will the World Economy ... |
| | During a recession or depression, Keynes said that a government should not worry about budget deficits, in fact by Government spending to create jobs and public works projects, and deliberately running large deficits, the country can be pulled out of the recession or depression. | | | Keynes basicly threw out past economic theory as garbage, and said that governments can help a country recover from a recession or depression by monetary and fiscal policy. | | | So, today, President Bush is doing exactly the right thing, according to Keynesian economics, to pull the U.S. out of this recession: having large tax cuts, to put money to spend in the hands of the U.S. population, and increased spending on Defense and Homeland Defense. |

| | Again, it is realised that depressed trade, and the collapse of security and real estate values during the past two years, has undermined the value of banking collateral and impaired the liquidity of the banks. | | | Now the depressed state of trade has reduced the Reserve Banks' holdings of assets of this last kind and has forced then en defaut de mieux to add enormously to their holdings of Government securities. | | | This depression was rendered far more severe and, most importantly, permanent, by the British default on gold payment in September, 1931. |

| | Some have threatened to take their investment elsewhere for both economic and political reasons, still others are seeking a new reserve currency of the world rather than the US dollar. | | | However, given more poor economic performance and the threat of political unrest by large numbers of unemployed Americans, such proposals may not be impossible to bring about in the future. | | | This will entail a prolonged economic recession, coupled with the Fed continually pumping liquidity into the markets and banks, high paying jobs continuing to be shipped to India, and fiscal and budgetary problems become so acute that essential services get cut at the state and local level. |

| | But in the 1930s a growing demand arose for the government to step in and create a social safety net with minimum hourly wages, a standard work week, and programs such as medicare and unemployment insurance. | | | The Depression also led governments to be more present in the economy. | | | (See 1934—Bank of Canada.) As well, the world’s severely restrictive trading policies during the Depression were opened up by international treaties such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). |

| | Does a Falling Money Stock Cause Economic Depression? |
| | Observe that economic depressions are not caused by the collapse in the money stock (as suggested by Milton Friedman), but come in response to a shrinking pool of real funding on account of previous of loose money. | | | Tax revenues drop because they are based on economic activity (income and spending). | | | That point is not addressed to commentary about appropriate levels of taxation and spending but to the pure monetary measuring stick issue--at the moment, governments at every level do not have enough tax revenue to pay existing commitments. |

| | Considered a rare but extreme form of recession, the start of a depression is characterised by unusual increases in unemployment, restriction of credit, shrinking output and investment, price deflation and/or hyperinflation, numerous bankruptcies, reduced amounts of trade and commerce, as well as violent currency devaluations. | | | It is more severe than a recession (which is seen as a normal downturn in the business cycle). | | | Unlike a recession, there is no official definition for a depression, even though some have been proposed. |

| | Europe was reliant upon U.S. loans to buy U.S. goods, and the U.S. needed Europe to buy these goods to prosper. | | | The United States maintained high trade barriers so as to protect American business, but if the United States would not buy from our European counterparts, then there was no way for them to buy from the Americans, or even to pay interest on U.S. loans. | | | Many factors played a role in bringing about the depression; however, the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the 1920's, and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part that same decade. |
