Government Regulation: Crash Course Government #47

Welcome to school without the classroom! Host Craig Benzine takes you through a tour of US government and politics.

Government Regulation: Crash Course Government #47

Season 1 Episode 47 | 9m 46s

We're going to talk about the government's goals for the U.S. economy and the policies it employs to achieve those goals. Ever since the New Deal, we've seen an increased role of the government within the economy - even with the deregulation initiatives of President Carter and Reagan in the 80's.
