Austerity, like supply side, is a scam - 0 views

Stephen b on 20 May 13Now, I'm not much of the political type but, when I saw this title, I have to admit it drew me in. After about the first five or six sentences you can tell this is an article from the far left of the political spectrum (that being the hardcore democrats), but what I found really interesting about this article was how it looked at supply-side policy as this conservative dooms day device, rather than a neutral policy that can be used to anyone's advantage. I still think it is a strategy with its pros and cons, just like monetary or fiscal policy, yet it is interesting to see how it might benefit one social group more than another and how its implementation can lead to many economic issues.
