IB 30/35
I reviewed monetary and fiscal policy with you today. We also reviewed the Keynesian economic response at various stages of the business cycle. I then walked you through a handout on the stabilization of the business cycle using monetary and fiscal policy. I also gave you a handout on the Great Depression in the USA. Please make sure that you check out all of the resources at your disposal for the unit The Great Depression in the Americas. Questions related to this topic are often covered by students on their Paper 3 in May.
