What role did the panic of 1893 play in the election of 1896?

1 answer:

6 0

The Panic of 1893 was a major economic crisis in the United States, the largest it had seen up to that time. Many Americans saw the panic as a result of increased railroad speculation after the Civil War and a rigid attachment to the gold standard. The panic gave power to the Populists, a political movement of farmers who opposed the growing power of industrialists, and brought the issue of eliminating the gold standard to the center of the 1896 election.

Explain the berline blockade

Daniel [21]

The Berlin blockade was a blockade by the Soviet Union (USSR) of the western part of Berlin, (controlled by the US, Britain, and France) The USSR wanted all of Berlin to themselves, and so blockaded the roads to stop the NATO nations from sending supplies to the war-torned Berlin. However, the US started the Berlin Airlift, transporting thousands, if not, millions of supplies to West Berlin over a period of times (and even Christmas Gifts :D)

how does the government promote economic growth in capitalist countries and those transitioning to capitalism?

alexandr1967 [171]

In capitalist countries (and those transitioning to capitalism), overt or direct government control of the economy is avoided. Instead, the government seeks to provide the infrastructure and security/stability needed in order for business interests to flourish and the economy to grow.

Direct government control of the economy was the pattern of "mercantilism," which was dominant prior to the rise of capitalism. According to Adam Smith, one of the founding theorists of capitalism, mercantilism was bad because the government tried to regulate and control commerce too much. Smith, along with French economic theorists known "physiocrats" (wanting to let "nature rule"), advocated a "laissez-faire" approach to commerce and industry, letting businesses run themselves in competition in a free market.

However, for that free market to flourish, governments will do their part by providing infrastructure -- roads, ports, etc. Governments also will ensure the stability and security needed for businesses to operate safely and consistently. So governments will enact laws affirming rights and fairness in business contracts and enforce those laws, and also provide national security within their lands so that economic growth can flourish due to peaceful circumstances. (Warfare causes great disruption to economies.)
