Summary

Economic policy encompasses the comprehensive actions taken by governments concerning taxation, budgeting, money supply, interest rates, labor markets, and national ownership. It is primarily divided into fiscal policy, which involves government spending and taxation, and monetary policy, which pertains to central bank activities affecting the money supply and interest rates. These policies are often shaped by international bodies such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as by various political ideologies. Recently, Vice President Kamala Harris has notably adjusted her economic policy approach, moving towards a more moderate and pro-business stance, a shift that has generated significant public discussion.

Economic policy

The economy of governments covers the systems for setting levels of taxation, government budgets, the money supply and interest rates as well as the labour market, national ownership, and many other areas of government interventions into the economy. Most factors of economic policy can be divided into either fiscal policy, which deals with government actions regarding taxation and spending, or monetary policy, which deals with central banking actions regarding the money supply and interest rates. Such policies are often influenced by international institutions like the International Monetary Fund or World Bank as well as political beliefs and the consequent policies of parties.

One American woman said, “Start taxing the rich and corporations better.” Others want taxes to be more equitably paid – and enforced – including an Australian woman who called for “taxes on all companies and people. The very wealthy should pay their fair share of tax. No loopholes, so they don’t get out of doing the right thing.” [...] 1. Politicians, changing leadership and political parties 2.
