According to Keynesian theory, during recession, what should the government ideally do?
कीन्सियन सिद्धांत के अनुसार, मंदी के दौरान सरकार को आदर्श रूप से क्या करना चाहिए?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Increase spending and cut taxes / खर्च बढ़ाएँ और करों में कटौती करें
🟢 Explanation
According to Keynesian economic theory, during a recession, aggregate demand falls, leading to lower production and higher unemployment.
Government’s ideal actions:
-
Increase public spending on infrastructure, welfare, and other projects → stimulates demand.
-
Cut taxes for individuals and businesses → increases disposable income and encourages consumption.
-
This is called expansionary fiscal policy, aimed at boosting economic activity and reducing unemployment.
Keynes emphasized that government intervention is necessary when private demand is insufficient.
🟢 व्याख्या
कीन्सियन अर्थशास्त्र के अनुसार मंदी के दौरान कुल मांग (Aggregate Demand) घट जाती है, जिससे उत्पादन कम और बेरोजगारी बढ़ती है।
सरकार को आदर्श कदम:
-
खर्च बढ़ाएँ – अवसंरचना, कल्याण और अन्य परियोजनाओं में निवेश → मांग में वृद्धि।
-
कर कम करें – व्यक्तियों और व्यवसायों के पास अधिक आय होगी → उपभोग बढ़ेगा।
-
इसे विस्तारित वित्तीय नीति (Expansionary Fiscal Policy) कहा जाता है, जिसका उद्देश्य आर्थिक गतिविधियों को प्रोत्साहित करना और बेरोजगारी कम करना है।
कीन्स ने कहा कि निजी मांग कम होने पर सरकार का हस्तक्षेप जरूरी है।
