1. Keynesian Theory   Keynesian economists would suggest that, during a recession, the government should use stimulus efforts to help support the economy during that recession.  Later, after the recession, Keynesian theory would suggest reducing government spending during a productive economy.  Austerity measures, during a recession, operate on the opposite perspective from Keynesian theory in that Austerity promotes the reduction of government spending, and government deficits, in economic downturns.

· Watch the video, " Risk on, austerity wins in Greece ".
