Now, it didn't study this in school and don't know very much about this sort of thing, I just have an idea and if it is wrong please explain why, don't just flame me. I am prospectively under the opinion that if everyone thought that the economy was just fantastic then it would be. Like for instance if the prez just goes on tv and says that the economy is great now its all fixed nothing to worry about anymore and enough ppl believe than it would eventually be great and it would happen quick. What makes the economy tank is doubt and fear. Investors sell, ppl don't spend as much and as a result companies out of fear of not making a profit lay off workers. If the fear wasn't there and everyone thought everything was good then companies would starting hiring more, so ppl have more disposable income and spend more and investors have all the more reason to invest in companies making profit.
So, iy seems to me that the nations wealth is all a matter of perception and only equals what the public believes it equals. Take goods and services for instance, they are only worth what ppl are willing to pay for and so in turn is paper currency. These views fluctuate and the values of good, services, and paper currency fluctuate with these views.....since the nations economy is based on these three things then so is the state of the nations economy based all on majority point of view.......Am I wrong here and if so where did I go wrong? Discuss....
