Im not too good in history so the Monroe doctrine :/

Shadow:

"The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas beginning in 1823. ... President James Monroe first stated the doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress."

Shadow:

I can do a little summary of the ones I know, to see if they peak your interest.

Shadow:

The Emancipation Proclamation - Abraham Lincoln, executive order, free the slaves

Shadow:

The New Deal happened under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1939 and it was essentially economic reform to help battle the effects of the Great Depression.

Shadow:

Reaganomics refers to the economic policies put forth by Ronald Reagan (40th president of the United States) in which he called for "widespread tax cuts, decreased social spending, increased military spending and the deregulation of domestic markets. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reaganomics.asp#ixzz5FjFAlW53

Shadow:

Hate when I copy and paste quotes, it comes with extra snippets, lol.

Shadow:

One of the paragraphs in the article makes it interesting "Near the end of Reagan’s second term, tax revenues received by the U.S. government increased to $909 billion in 1988 from $517 billion in 1980. Inflation was reduced to 4%, and the unemployment rate fell below 6%. Although economists and politicians continue to argue over the effects of Reaganomics, it did usher in one of the longest and strongest periods of prosperity in American history. Between 1982 and 2000, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) grew nearly 14-fold, and the economy added 40 million new jobs."

zarkam21:

How about we do the new deal if you dont mind

Shadow:

It's a popular one, go for it.

zarkam21:

The New Deal was a policy that was established to help guide the United States out of the Great Depression . This took place under United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A British economist named John Maynard Keynes came up with an idea that national governments should cut taxes and spend more money during busts, then raise taxes and spend less money during booms which would balance all of the budgets out. He then met with President Roosevelt to discuss this. Roosevelt disagreed, but agreed later. The primary goal of this proposal was to solve the Great Depression somehow. This was a very difficult time for the nation and the President was counted upon to do something about it. In my opinion, this did succeed because American economists and government officials decided that Keynes was right when the depression had come to an end. After the Depression, the federal government has adjusted taxation and spending in order to counterbalance business cycle stages to stay safe when it comes to the stocks and budgets of the nation.

zarkam21:

How's this

Shadow:

ooh, Keynesian economics

zarkam21:

Am I wrong? :/

Shadow:

As long as you got your facts from credible websites, you can't be 'wrong.'

Shadow:

It's asking for your opinion. There are solid arguments for and against Keynesian economics, as there are for Reaganomics, and supply side economics, and so on.
