The 1970s were not a happy time for America: foreign policy reversals, seemingly-endless upheaval on university campuses, the 1973 oil shock, the humiliation of the Carter years, not to mention the disgrace and resignation of a sitting President. Economically, the 1970s were a lost decade as the American economy was wracked by a most unholy trinity: recession, high unemployment, and rising inflation.
Home ownership has long been part of the American Dream, but current government plans to keep more people in their homes reflect the influence of failed economic policies from the past and may encourage more risky decision making in the future. These days, one could be forgiven for thinking there is a direct correlation between the public utterances of government leaders and declines in the value of stocks and investor confidence around the world. This may owe something to an unspoken awareness that the more-or-less Keynesian interventionist approaches being applied by most governments to the global economic crisis are unlikely to work. Indeed, there is considerable evidence to suggest that such policies actually tend to prolong recessions.Support APP
