Question: A major topic when talking about politics and economics is the health of the economy. Political candidates often run for office proclaiming what they will do to improve the nation’s economy and the economic opportunities available for all Americans. But what does that mean? How do people and economists determine whether an economy is healthy or not? This unit contains the answers to these questions. It examines the tools for economic data and measurement. Think about your community. For you and your family, what does it mean for the country to have a strong or healthy economy? What does it mean for the country to have a weak economy? What are some actions that can turn a weak economy into a strong economy?
Some indicators of a strong economy include high employment and income, low interest rates, steady economic growth, and low inflation. A strong economy also creates more opportunity for people to achieve their dreams, and for businesses to thrive. To turn a weak economy into a strong economy, governments use a combination of fiscal and monetary policies, such as lower taxes, increased government spending, and changes in the money supply. Another way governments can help the economy is through regulations that promote competition and protect consumers. Finally, governments can invest in infrastructure, research and development, and education to help create an environment of economic growth.
