Fiscal policy is based on the idea that the government can use spending or taxation, not just for the sake of funding useful programs, but also as a way to affect the economy. Topics discussed in this show include, how fiscal policy is supposed to work, a comparison of demand-based economic policy with "supply side" theories, austerity vs. stimulus, debt and deficit, and is Keynesianism "dead"?
