Question

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

Answer 1

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. 

Answer 2

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 market, whereas all of Carter's measures were ineffective
