Government intervention during economic downturn:pros and cons
Vítek, Jan ; Janíčko, Martin (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
My thesis has two aims. The first one is to present anti-crisis measures adopted during the Great depression and the current financial and economic crisis. Afterwards, I evaluate and criticize those measures from the point of view of the Austrian school and Keynesian. Both those schools are each other in opposition concerning the opinion on government interventions. Austrian school represents one of the most liberal economical streams, while Keynesians are part of those economical streams that support government participation in the field of aggregate demand. The second aim is to find analogy between the Great depression and the current financial and economic crisis. The searched analogies are related to events that foreran both crisis and that had a direct influence on those crises.

Anti-crisis policy of the Federal Reserve system in twenties and early thirties of the twentieth century
Šetele, Adam ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the anti-crisis policy of the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve system (FED), during the twenties and early thirties of last century. Attention is directed primarily to two major crises that occurred during this period. It is a little known post-war Depression of 1920-21 and the Great Depression of 1929-33. Anti-crisis policy, which were used by a top U.S. monetary autority -- Federal reserve system to address these two crises were to each other in stark contrast. In the first case there were chosen restrictive and deflationary policies, while in the latter case there were applied an anti-crisis expansionary and inflationary policies. These different approaches have been also accompanied by a different course of the crisis. Based on analysis of anti-crisis policy of the Federal Reserve System in the early 20th century work shows that there is a causal relationship between anti-crisis policy of the central bank and the state of economic development and that this stabilization (anti-crisis policy) of Federal reserve system deepen economic contraction rather than help economic from them. The work is theoretically based on ideas of the austrian economic school and its business cycle theory.
