Nope!\n\nUSA has a free economy.  There is a Federal Reserve Board with 13 presidents and a Chairman (the chairman used to be Alan Greenspan.  Now it is Bernackey).  It is their job to manipulate the money supply.  They raise and lower interest rates.  This is called Monetary policy. The president of the U.S. and Congress raise and lower taxes and this is called Fiscal policy. Together Monetary policy and fiscal policy get the economy moving faster or slower.  If taxes are high and interest rates are high, not as many people can afford to buy houses or borrow money and this slows economy down.  Bernacky would in this case, cut interest rates and then a house payment would be $500 not $575 for example.  More people could afford smaller house payment so they would buy house causing demand for more houses and demand for more wood and concrete...\n\nThere is not enough Gold in the world to back up all the dollars and euroes.  NYC's Trash Department has a budget bigger than some small countries.  USA's economy is HUGE.  China has bought billions of our dollars when they buy our U.S. Treasury bonds.  When Bernacky raises interest rates, he is also raising the amount of interest USA pays on U.S. Treasury bills.

Not counting the voluntary payment of income taxes, there are the following:\n\n1. Provide huge amounts of labor to the economic engine.\n2. Buy food, clothes, other stuff.\n3. Pay sales taxes.\n4. Pay payroll taxes through false SS numbers, for which they don't claim tax refunds or benefits.\n5. Provide children educated here who thus later become a source of educated, skilled American labor in an age of foreign  outsourcing.

Fiscal policy is that part of government economic policy that deals with taxation and government expenditure.(Cf monetary policy which has to do with interest rates, credit and the flow of money in the economy)  Government uses fiscal policy to improve the current account by increasing taxation and reducing expenditure if there is a deficit.

There is a ton of info in the site below.  Fiscal policy usually falls under Macroeconomics. One of the most common fiscal policies you'll here about a couple of times a year, is when the Federal Reserve Board (The Fed) meets.  Often the board decides to change its prime lending rate to banks, which could affect overall borrowine and spending in the economy.

Actually, no. A lot of the reforms he tried to implement by executive order were declared a few years after they were decreed as un constitutional by the US Supreme Court. Most of the programs did work, and they were only meant to work in the short term to get the economy rolling again. Some of the things he decreed were wage and price controls, minimum wage, right to organize labor unions, etc. All the things that were implemented to help the working man.

I am assuming you are referring to trade policy.  Protectionist policies are those that advantage domestic goods over foreign goods (exports v imports) through either tarriffs (surcharges added to the price of a good being imported) or through subsidies (price supports or distributive policies within a country) to grow or make some item.\nObviously, similiar to the micro level of a larger grocery store being able to get better prices when negotiating with its suppliers compared to a smaller chain or a 'mom & pop' type store, larger countries (typically first world) are better positioned to DICTATE supply agreements (not much can be done about demand---other than to decrease it through tarriffs (VAT) which would be passed on to the consumer).  \nThird and second world countries are often in a very tenuous position:  their government wants to expand their economy through increasing exports, however, often this is done through either internally, creating subsidies (which many cannot afford to do) or agreeing to 'lopsided' trade agreements, which wind up exploiting or at a minimum, disadvantaging their citizens and other workers in their respective countries or nations.  Additionally, there are contravening issues like human rights and environmental standards which may also be of concern.\nI hope this helps, but here are some articles for you to read and consider; as well as the WTO link

You didn't really specify if you mean trade between states as in American states or as in different nations. Fundamentally, there is not that much of a difference though. The most important concept in economics is that different economies are really intertwined in one large economy. Different regions and populations possess different resources that others do not. The best examples are natural resources. Imagine how our world would be if the Middle East (or in the domestic case, say, Texas) did not trade their oil. Imagine what would happen to the small island nation of Japan if it could not import raw materials such as iron/steel to produce automobiles. Human resources are also important. The cost of many products we buy would be much higher if Chinese labor were not so inexpensive or if we were forced to produce microchips in southern California for ten times the cost! And far fewer of us would have wine if it weren't for countries like France and Australia, or states like California and Oregon. And what if we couldn't get potatoes from Idaho or peanuts from Georgia? As you can see, states depend on one another to provide raw materials, finished goods, services and labor that they themselves cannot. Without trade between different regions, our world would not function as it currently does and we would all be worse off!

Michigan - double the average US unemployment, with a Democrat governor that won't part with a business tax that punishes businesses in downtimes like this. Foreclosures at national highs. Continued downsizing of the automotive market, with 1000's of skilled people being laid off.\n\nAnd now the Democrats want to finish us off with their impositions of ridiculous mileage requirements. Bah!

None.\nThe Federal Reserve bank handles monetary policy, such as interest rates.\nTax policy is a fiscal policy, handled by the Federal government.\nHowever, the Fed Chair does meet with Congress periodically and discuss his views of the economy, and Congress will many times alter tax policies accordingly.

Well, Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military and political policy with a policy of economic nationalism (protectionism). \n\nA good example of this is Sweden\n\nExpansionism is the doctrine of expanding the territorial base (or economic influence) of a country, usually by means of military aggression.\n\nA good example of this is Ancient Rome\n\nImperialism is a policy of extending control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires. This is either through direct territorial conquest or settlement, or through indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy of other countries.\n\nA good example of this is Britain and their colonies in the late 1800s.\n\nI hope this helps.

I'm in a economics class too, and they are things that are used to predict if the economy is going into a period of contraction or growth. Some examples are the stock market, the real GDP, prices, and sales.
