Fiscal policy: A summary

In this pathway we explored fiscal policy and how governments use policy in an attempt to steer the economy toward full employment, price stability, and economic growth. We looked at fiscal policy and tools themselves, and then at issues around fiscal policy, such as stimulus, restraint, deficits, and surpluses. Finally, we looked at national debt: its sources, the burden associated with it, and the owners of a nation's debt.
