The Two Policies
Monetary Policy is a term used to refer to the actions of central banks to achieve macroeconomic policy objectives such as price stability, full employment, and stable economic growth. Fiscal Policy is a broad term used to refer to the tax and spending policies of the federal government.

- Fiscal policy is just when a government adjusts its spending levels and tax rates to monitor and influence a nation's economy.
- Not only that it is also the sister strategy to monetary policy through which a central bank influences a nation's money supply.
Meg
- These two policies are used in various combinations to direct a country's economic goals.
- Before the Great Depression, which lasted from Sept. 4, 1929 to the late 1930s or early 1940s, the government's approach to the economy was laisse-faire and after world war 2 it was determined that the government had to take a proactive role in the economy to regulate unemployment, business cycles, inflation and the cost of money.
Chippy
- governments are able to control economic phenomena.
- If a government believes there is not enough spending and business activity in an economy, it can increase the amount of money it spends, often referred to as "stimulus" spending.
- If there are not enough tax receipts to pay for the spending increases, governments borrow money by issuing debt securities and, in the process, accumulate debt, or "deficit."
