Discuss the differences between Keynesian and supply-side fiscal policies


The essential difference is that Keynesians attempt smooth out the business by changing aggregate demand (total spending). The supply-siders focus on creating greater incentives to work, save and invest in order to shift the aggregate supply curve to the right. Keynesian economics is essentially demand-side economics. Supply-side economics focuses on the supply side of the AD-AS model.
