How were the actions taken by
Presidents Ford and Carter to
address the country’s economic
downturn similar? How did they
differ?



Answer :

In general, both of these president's were relatively "hands off when it came to the economy, but many people would agree that Carter was more active in policy adjustments. 
he actions taken by the presidents weren't similar in any respect. The nearest similarity is that each began with a technique to encourage civilians to follow their plans. In Ford's set up, he down the number of money in circulation whereas carter increased interest rates and deregulated businesses. I feel Ford had the higher policy as a result of there have been no major jumps in expansion or the task marketwhereas all of Carter's measures were ineffective
