Discussion questions:

From 2007 to 2009, the US experienced one of its worst economic collapses. What would Keynes recommend the US government should do to fight this problem (if anything)? What would Neoclassical economists recommend the US government should do to fight this problem (if anything)?

Conduct some research to determine how the US government responded. What was the government’s response? Be specific in detailing the US government’s actions following this economic crisis. Was the response aligned with Keynesian or Neoclassical economics?
