Abstract I’ve chosen the New deal as my policy. Fiscal policy can reduce unemployment by expanding total aggregate demand and the rate of economic growth. The government should pursue expansionary financial approach; this includes cutting taxes and expanding government spending. Lower charges increment extra cash (for example Tank slice to 15% in 2008) and in this manner help to build utilization, prompting higher total interest (AD). With an expansion in AD, there will be an increment in Real GDP (insofar...
