SummaryThe US economy has always seen turbulent cyclical effects of inflation and deflation. To gauge the balance between the two experts at the Federal Reserve has always adopted the traditional macroeconomic tool of monetary and fiscal policies. These policies depending on the nature of the situation have helped the country survive some of the toughest economic crises in the American economic history. To name a few, the Great Depression, Inflation of the 1980s stock crash as well as the tech bubble burst during the 1990s. These events have become the cornerstone and a signal for Federal Reserve experts to beware of the coming deflationary or inflationary turn. In the recent years after the crash of the September 11 events, the country once again had seen an economic downfall with many companies going bankrupt while others are forcefully closed due to deteriorating corporate governance. These changing and dynamic economic environments have had great adverse effects on the economy. For this reason the Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan and his counterparts have been involved in balancing the economy albeit unsuccessfully.
