55. The Business Cycle and Fiscal Policy - What Traders Know

[DANGRUM]

Brilliant video I think this will help me tremendously in my Macro economics exam next week cheers keep em coming.....Dan - Ireland

[tirmen8er]

this guy knows nothing about the economy, or economics for that matter...

saying that we can slow the decline of employment by either lowering taxes or increasing government spending?! You're a fool.

To even suggest that increased govt. spending can solve any problem in an economy shows you know nothing.

You say that deflation is a bad thing? You obviously do not understand that deflation encourages savings which lead to future growth which is larger than the ladder.

moron.

[wortexya]

In my opinion/understanding (which is highly influenced by the book "Capitalism" by George Reisman):

By lowering taxes, you essentially let companies to give the employed people more money on their salaries. But with lowering taxes, it is also good to lower government spending.

Increased government spending in short term can kick-start things.

And why I consider deflation a good thing, I do not see how it encourages savings.

Dave, Thanks for all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do all these amazing videos.

By the way, what do you think about Andrew Cardwell's RSI formula ?

[Ontologistics]

But surely, according to the quantity theory of money - the mainstream theory - inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply.

Good job Dave, our professor had us watch this for a class assignment.

This is all a very good explanation! but it doesnt have to be like this! As its been explained government intervention in money and business doesnt work, a fiat currency has never worked and any economy with a central bank has had its currency devalued $us lost 90% of its value since 1914, and the pound hasnt faired well either! Stick to a gold standard and this wouldnt happen, look at the Mises intstitute and austrian school they have been right about boom and bust theory and its cure

[xuanmai90]

Thanks a lot. The lesson is very clear.

[techguy03]

Great video, I have been trying to find a video just like this to help explain to friends why increasing taxes (on anyone) in a contraction period would be horrible for the economy!!! Keep up the good work.
