A contractionary fiscal policy position is characterized by a decrease in government spending and/or an increase in taxes. The primary goal is to reduce aggregate demand in the economy, often to combat inflation. By limiting government expenditure and increasing tax revenue, this policy aims to cool down an overheating economy and stabilize prices. Ultimately, it seeks to restore balance when economic growth is perceived as excessive.
In response to stagflation in the early 1970s, President Nixon implemented several measures, including wage and price controls to combat inflation and stabilize the economy. He also took the U.S. off the gold standard in 1971, allowing for a more flexible monetary policy. Additionally, Nixon introduced policies aimed at stimulating growth, such as increased government spending and tax cuts. These actions reflected an attempt to balance the dual challenges of rising prices and stagnant economic growth.
Theoretically, competition keeps prices low because various firms vie for the business of consumers. When they compete, they attempt to win a larger market share by lowering prices. Therefore, if competition is lacking, prices will increase. Take a monopoly for example. No competition means they can set really high prices.
The McNary-Haugen Bill aimed to assist American farmers by establishing a system of price supports for agricultural products. It sought to stabilize farm prices and prevent the economic distress that many farmers faced during the 1920s and 1930s. The bill proposed the government buy surplus crops and sell them at a loss to help maintain higher prices for farmers. Although it was introduced multiple times, it ultimately failed to pass in Congress.
