Understand the Shift: From Classical Theory to Modern Economic Management
In this enlightening course, Richard Duncan delves into the transformative changes that have reshaped our economic landscape over the past century. Gone are the days when the economy functioned as a self-regulating system guided solely by supply and demand. Today, governments wield unprecedented influence over the economy through credit creation and asset price manipulation.
A Journey Through Economic Evolution π The Historical Context: Until approximately 100 years ago, the role of government in the economy was minimal. The Capitalist system was believed to thrive on the natural forces of supply and demand, with classical economic theory providing the bedrock of economic understanding.
The Great Shift: π The Modern Reality: Over the past century, the government's involvement in the economy has ballooned. The macroeconomic system now bears little resemblance to traditional Capitalism. Yet, the teachings of economics and the public's perception of the economy remain largely anchored in outdated 19th-century principles.
The New Economics: π οΈ Government Policy Tools: Today's economy is managed through a suite of policy tools designed to maintain, if not ensure, continuous economic growth, as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This shift has profound implications for how we view both politics and economics.
