Hello all; welcome to our Public Policy introduction to Economic Policy! Today's episode walks through both the basics of economic policy (fiscal policy and monetary policy), the institutions that have been created to support economic development or avoid economic crashes (such as the FDIC and SEC), a bit more on the history of the problems that have led to these institutions, and data galore! We've got data on GDP, recessions, unemployment, inflation, and much much more! I hope this episode clarifies anything that you've got questions on but as always do email me at jemille1@wsc.edu and I will help you as best I can!
