It’s a question most often by economists, politicians and the general public. If we look at history and learn about different results of the two wells, you can do the same question. Think about the crisis of 1920-21? N? Well, no surprise. It was just a blip in the history of the United States and only learned at school, but it is very informative. As with other depressions and recessions, including one launched in 2007, was the Federal Reserve money supply dramatically after the First World War, when the Fed decided to finally raise the discount rate, the economy has slowed down a bit. It was mid-1920 and production increased by 21 percent in 12 months (in 1930 fell even worse after a year in the Great Depression.) The unemployment rate stood at 12 percent and gross national product declined by 17 percent.

As Warren Harding administration’s economic recession? He did exactly the opposite of Herbert Hoover, Roosevelt, George Bush and Barack Obama try, instead of “support” of the economy, reduced the budget by half. to do instead of what the Keynesian era has proposed, and economists like Paul Krugman to say now, attacked the depression, reducing public spending and reduce taxes and public debt. The government and the Fed still has a resource in the Great Depression, they’ve seen or been a public works expenditure of public deficits and inflation than the best conventional wisdom to dispense with the way an economic slowdown. The market was somewhat able to make the appropriate corrections, the debt had been liquidated and take our losses. In August 1921 the economy started again. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 percent in 1922 and 2.4 percent in 1923. Only a small point in our history …

Keynesians Even economists have said, “Despite the lack of political momentum, however, a speedy recovery ‘and’ the economy recovered rapidly from depression from 1920 to 1921 and is in a strong enough growing season. Recognize even if, in the success of a headset, Harding tax and spending policies of the compensation policy, even policy Subscribe to the state intervention that has proved ineffective and safer. Look up about 15 long years of economic stagnation in the administrations of Hoover and Roosevelt. Depression was the result of loose monetary policy of the Fed and a great inflationary boom leads to 1929. In fact, some economists, with the risk of the U.S. population . UU., said the U.S. was in the era of permanent prosperity. Then the bubble burst and the Crash of 1929. What can Hoover and Roosevelt? Exactly the opposite of Warren Harding. Hoover began construction projects government, increased taxes, the emergency loans granted to enterprises in difficulty and borrowed money to states for relief. Does this sound familiar? historians Hoover laissez faire throwing error as the cause for the Great Depression. He was far from laissez- faire. Even President Roosevelt said that the Hoover administration “the biggest peacetime spending during the story.” Ironically, after his criticism, only to extrapolate the programs FDR Hoover when he took office (and the list of government programs is a puzzle to destroy the economic policy).

Currently there are two types of economic policies; we are talking about economic liberalism and protectionism.

Economic liberalism is the economic component of classical liberalism. It is an economic philosophy that supports and promotes laissez-faire economy (laissez faire). Proponents of economic liberalism believe that political freedom and social freedom are inseparable from economic freedom, and philosophical arguments used to justify promoting freedom, economic liberalism and free markets. He opposes government intervention in the free market, fully supports free trade and competition in contrast to the commercialism, Keynesianism and socialism.

Another thing is the protectionism which unlike liberalism is an economic policy that restricts trade between states, through methods such as tariffs on imported goods, restrictive quotas, and a variety of other government regulations designed to discourage imports and to prevent foreign takeover of domestic markets and enterprises.

This policy is closely aligned with the anti-globalization, and contrasts with free trade, where government barriers to trade and capital movements are kept to a minimum. The term is used especially in the context of economics, where protectionism refers to policies or doctrines that protect enterprises and workers within a country to restrict or regulate commerce with foreign nations.

Today the economy is moving at a much faster pace, the nations that instead of opening its doors to free trade and tariff barriers impose large apply protectionist measures extreme risk of being isolated from the rest of the world condemning their citizens to backwardness and poverty.
