The economy of the United States of America is the largest in the world. In 2000, the U.S. had a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 9,318.5 billion dollars. (Real Gross Domestic Product, 2001) The United States has an economy that is market driven but government regulated. Because the economy is market driven, it tends to have a cyclical nature. The market contracts, which causes a decrease in GDP, and it expands which causes the GDP to rise. This cycle is constantly in motion. Before the Great Depression, the government did not intervene with the economy. It did nothing to boost the economy during a slump or slow it down if it grew too fast. The economic thinkers of the time believed that the economy would self-adjust if anything was to happen. Once the economy began its downward spiral in 1929, it did not self-adjust itself. It was during this time, that Lord Keynes suggested that government intervene. This became the basis for modern day economics. Today, the government plays on active in the economy. Its primary goal is to act as a moderator for when it grows and slows down. It also acts to promote economic growth while keeping inflation low.
