Is more state intervention in the economy crucial for preventing recessions and economic crises, or is it better to reduce regulation and leave more freedom to the market?
Recessions and economic crises have a huge impact on the lives of citizens, the stability of the financial system and economic development. Proponents of interventionism emphasise that active fiscal and monetary policies can effectively counter recessions, protect jobs and stabilise markets. Economic liberals, on the other hand, point out that state intervention often leads to market distortions, increased public debt and reduced entrepreneurship. The important question remains whether interventionist policies are more effective than market approaches in preventing economic crises. Studies analysing the interventionist measures taken during recent economic and financial crises show that greater state intervention in the economy can, under certain conditions, be more effective in stabilising the economy and preventing crises than free-market mechanisms. This issue is central to the debate on the role of the state in the economy. Economic crises such as the Great Depression of 1929 or the financial crisis of 2008 have shown that a lack of regulation and supervision can lead to destabilisation. However, excessive regulation and government debt resulting from intervention can lead to a reduction in innovation and market efficiency. Modern economic models suggest that the optimal solution may lie somewhere in the middle – the state should intervene at key moments, but should not completely dominate the economy.
