used during a recession, times of high unemployment or other low periods of the
business cycle. It entails the government spending more money, lowering taxes, or
both. The goal is to put more money in the hands of consumers so they spend more
and stimulate the economy.
• Contractionary fiscal policy is used to slow down economic growth, such as
when inflation is growing too rapidly. The opposite of expansionary fiscal policy,
contractionary fiscal policy raises taxes and cuts spending.
