You believe that government intervention and fiscal policies can help stabilize the economy, reduce unemployment, and promote growth during economic downturns.
Keynesianism is a political and economic ideology that emerged from the works of the British economist John Maynard Keynes.

Have you witnessed any small businesses struggling in your area, and what type of government intervention do you think could support them?
@9L6BJF910mos10MO

How do you perceive the importance of government-run social safety nets in times of economic downturn?
@9J4MQ8K 12mos12MO
I would, as long as the government had in the cabinet those with the actual working knowledge of economics and finance, be pro more government intervention, especially monitoring the banks as I feel certain benchmarks need to be followed - although there are already systems to that end.
