Hatshy [7]3 years ago

 <span>Mercantilism was an economic theory that posited that the richer a nation was,the more powerful it would be.It was the dominant economic system in the West throughout the 18th century. 

Colonies could be exploited for cheap raw materials - furs,lumber,fish and so on - that could be used to feed the home populations of the colonizing countries,and for use in producing manufactured goods in these countries.America had all these things in abundance,which encouraged European colonization there.</span>

Design a job program to reduce unemployment using fiscal policy.. <br><br> Please help !!!
Brut [27]
Fiscal policy can decrease unemployment by helping to increase aggregate demand and the rate of economic growth. Demand side policies are critical when there is a recession and rise in cyclical unemployment.

A quick list of policies to reduce unemployment:

Monetary policy – cutting interest rates to boost Aggregate Demand (AD)
Fiscal policy – cutting taxes to boost AD.
Education and training to help reduce structural unemployment.
Geographical subsidies to encourage firms to invest in depressed areas.
Lower minimum wage to reduce real wage unemployment.
More flexible labour markets, to make it easier to hire and fire workers.

Why did George Washington didn't want to be president at first?
melamori03 [73]
George Washington did not want to accept the presidency that the people wanted to give him for fear of becoming a tyrant himself, just like King George II of England, from whom they just declared themselves independent from. When he became president, he made an example by only taking 2 terms and then refusing to continue being president. It wasn't until much later that a law was introduced to prevent any single president from serving more than 2 terms.
