Eco Notepad (in progress) from Banque de France

Abstract: History remembers Roosevelt for pulling the United States out of the Great Depression. He did it through communication – responding to the concerns of the American people – and by changing economic policy. His goal? To break out of the vicious circle in which pessimism amplifies a recession. Although the crises may differ, this blog looks at the lessons that we can learn from this strategy for the current crisis.

Roosevelt reste dans l’histoire comme ayant réussi à sortir les États-Unis de la Grande Dépression. Pour cela, il communique afin de répondre aux inquiétudes des américains et modifie la politique économique. Son but ? Briser le cercle vicieux dans lequel le pessimisme amplifie la récession. Ce billet tire les leçons de cette stratégie pour la crise actuelle, même si les crises sont différentes.
