Hi everyone, I have been working on this draft, and currently don't have too much time to work on it, so I posted it, and am hoping people will help make it better. Thanks in advance. ZachInOhio (talk) 13:03, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is simply a tiny copy of Keynesian Economics. I think you should replace it with a REDIRECT to that article. To do that, write "#REDIRECT (link to Keynesian Economics)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lebanonman19 (talk • contribs) 02:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar help from an expert, please?[edit]

I've read the following section, which is currently the next-to-last paragraph in this article, ten times and can't even get close to what's meant. I would love for it to make grammatical sense, but I don't know enough about the topic to patch this together. I dug back in the edits to find whether someone had accidentally pasted part of a sentence into the wrong spot, but it's been verbatim like this since the paragraph was added. Can someone help? Thanks. (Italicized emphasis below is mine, meant to show where the grammar goes off the rails.) Jessicapierce (talk) 06:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Monetary stimulus is often considered more neutral: decreasing interest rates make additional investments profitable, but yet only the most additional investments, whereas fiscal stimulus where the government decides the investments may lead to populism or corruption. On the other hand, the government can also take externalities into account, such as how new roads or railways benefit users that do not pay for them, and choose investments that are even more beneficial although not profitable.
