Economists warn that the nation is heading for a recession. which of the following actions would john maynard keynes most likely support?

increase funds for civic projects to put people to work

decrease taxes across the board for individuals and businesses

redistribute unemployment and social security funds to bail out failing banks

reduce the money supply and keep interest rates high

The correct answer is answer A. Increase funds for civic projects to put people to work.

On the vision of John Maynard Keynes, the economy acts according to cycles of growth and decrease due to imbalances between the aggregate demand (Sum of the value of all goods and services demanded in a given economy) and the aggregate supply (Sum of the value of all the goods and services offered in a given economy).

According to this view, the diagnosis that a "recessive cycle" is approaching (seen as a consequence of a decrease in aggregate demand with respect to the aggregate supply) should be counteracted by an increase in aggregate demand through projects of infrastructure and civil community work that on the one hand generate sources of employment tending to guarantee the full employment of the economically active population and on the other hand apply the multiplying factor of demand from the growing needs of provision of construction materials, machinery, auxiliary services, etc.

In other words, by increasing aggregate demand through increasing public spending, according to the policies proposed by Keynes, the recessive phenomenon is corrected and the decline cycle is more quickly and effectively than the free market would have done functioning by itself.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
