Economic Development in the United States 1790 – 1840
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper examining the goals of the founding fathers in 1790 and the effects that had been realized by the early 19th century. President Ronald Reagan was roundly criticized for his "trickle down" comment in announcing his economic reform plan in the early 1980s, but it was little more than a modern application of the plan that Alexander Hamilton created more than 200 years earlier. It was Hamilton's immediate purpose to put into place economic policy that could ensure preservation of the Union only past its growing pains, but his creativity contributed to preservation of the Union in its most trying period as well.

Economic Policies: George W. Bush And Al Gore
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Considered perhaps the most important concerns in any presidential candidate's political platform is that which addresses economic policy; indeed, this is certainly the case with regard to the current stance between George W. Bush and Al Gore's candidacies. It can readily be argued that while studying each man's stance on economic policy, there exists a combination of similarities as well as great disparities -- an expected occurrence when issues such as these remain in the campaign's political forefront. The writer discusses that with Bush successfully appeasing his loyal followers and Gore effectively accommodating his, as well, the two presidential candidates believe that their own individual perceptions of economic policy are both exact and correct for continuing forward with the country's prosperous future.

Economic Policy of Three Presidents, 1989-2003
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page paper discussing the economic policies of Presidents George H. Bush (1989-93), William J. Clinton (1993-2001), and George W. Bush (2001-present). Five tables list Dow Jones and S&P 500 averages; interest rates, unemployment rates and personal income for each year. Thankfully, the three presidents of 1989-2003 could see the value of maintaining a largely hands-off policy regarding the economy. George Bush Senior preserved Reagan’s changes so that they could have full effect; Clinton instituted NAFTA and Welfare-to-Work, easing existing pressures. To date, it appears that George W. Bush has no domestic economic policy, but the lessons of the past indicate that too little action is much to be preferred over too much, too late. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
