This tells us that he had firm control of the country, and was allowing change in the safest of manors. On the other hand the lack of rebellions may have been due to Northumberland’s ruthless nature during previous rebellions making people afraid of repeating the same outcome. The movement to Protestantism can be attributed more to the Kings wishes, and not represent what Northumberland himself wanted. Northumberland’s social and economic ideas were primarily aiming towards getting the government’s finances back to stability. After Henry VIII’s erratic spending the crown and country were in financial crisis and this systematic and logical approach made by Northumberland towards the crisis shows his ability in this area of ruling.
On the contrary this shows that the disputes between these factions may imply that the King was weak and not in control thus significantly threatening the stability of government . However the rivalry between factions could not be seen as an significant threat to Henrys government because a more important factor jeopardised the stability of the government. Foreign Policy dominates during the last years of Henrys VIIs reign. The difficulties in Scotland contributed greatly to financial complications thus effecting the stability of the government and shadowing the rivalry between reformist and conservatives which would suggest that the threat was not major. Henry was exposed to the pull of the factions but a new aristocratic approach to the government strengthened the conservative faction however with the arrest of Duke of Norfolk (1547) and the dismissal of Gardiner from the Privy Chamber the reformists gained the much needed advantage .
“How far was concern over Booth and Rowntree’s findings the real reason for the Liberal reforms between 1906 and 1914?” By the early twentieth century the Liberal Government was concerned that Britain was losing her status as a major industrial and military power. The reports of Booth and Rowntree found that 1/3 of the British population lived in poverty. It suggested that this was a main factor effecting employment, education, disease, life expectancy and more. This could be argued to be the main reason that evoked a sense of urgency for change from the people and the liberal Government. However, other reasons also played a part.
Because of the large amounts of profit they were making, they ended up buying more land and equipment on credit. However, when the war ended, the economy was disastrous once again, with farmers having to default onto this credit as a result of a lower amount of profit they were making. To fix these economic problems, Harding implemented a number of economic policies. The Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, passed the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act was passed, which allowed Harding to raise any tariff by 50%. The act also emplaced the Tariff of 1922.
This profit margin made the risk worth taking for many, resulting in the government losing money due to be not paying duty tax. Pitt saw this problem and decided to reduce the level of duty tax of these products, in the Commutation Act of 1784. In addition, he also amended the Hovering Act of 1780, meaning that officials could now search ships, therefore making smuggling a lot more difficult. Furthermore, to encourage legitimate trade, Pitt introduced ‘Bonded Warehouses’ which allowed legitimate traders to store their goods in these warehouses tax-free as long as they were planning to export these to another country. Although the problem of smuggling had to be overcome, exportation in Britain was booming.
The Deal provided a necessary relief to desperate times, than paved the way for the reform needed to prevent the economic collapse from threatening our reliance on the government again. The New Deal may have been too drastic for some, or perhaps not drastic enough, but the overall impact it provided the reaction needed to change the course of American lives to this day. So when President Roosevelt first said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” He meant the “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror...” can be binding. Luckily, we had a President and a New Deal that promised us to free us from our paralyzing fear. He led the revolution of the era in his reform techniques, despite what reaction he may have
Economic costs of deflation- deflation has proved to have several economic costs, the main cost is that it encourages differed expenditure where people’s expectations change and they delay spending in the hope of getting a better deal. This then results in a decrease in AD causing business revenues to fall and confidence to decrease delaying business investment and cutting costs, i.e. increasing unemployment, all of which could slow economic growth and force a recession as evidenced in the 1930s depression. Additionally deflation increases the real value of debt leading to
This contributed to the loss of support of the Conservative party because during this tour, made by Gladstone, of the Conservative seat in Scotland, Midlothian, he gave a series of speeches in large towns such as Edinburgh, attacking Disraeli’s foreign policy. He spoke in emotive language, commenting on Disraeli’s continued support of the Turkish Empire, describing this Eastern policy as ‘inhumane’. He portrayed his rival’s foreign policy as expensive and aggressive, consequently losing support of Conservatives, and swaying the minds of others to vote Liberal. Personality had become an important part of the political process in aiding the decisions of the electorate, and the fact Disraeli was in bad health meant he could no longer contest Gladstone’s attacks. This lead to Conservatives losing the election because many Christians were outraged and humanist sentiment was lowering in the country due to the way Gladstone spoke of the foreign policy, and Disraeli was in no state to argue back, so the public just followed what Gladstone said.
The influence of Somerset came to an end in 1550, having been overthrown due to the rebellions in the West and in Norfolk which had led to unemployment discontent amongst the people and high prices for food stuffs. He was replaced by the Duke of Northumberland who headed up the Regency Council. His initial attention was focused on resolving the problem of making peace with both Scotland and France – both countries had been at war with England and to gain the support of Edward in solving this problem he allowed increasingly radical reforms to be introduced into the Church of England. Laws were passed to make churches plainer. Catholic churches were rich in decorations and colour.
A result of tariffs on imported goods was that the exporting country would retaliate by imposing tariffs on imports. This would lead to a game of “one-upmanship”, with tariffs inching ever-higher, eventually leading to either a drastic reduction, or even cessation of trade. This choking of international trade eventually depressed world demand, and led to the Great Depression of the 1930s (Hill, 2009, p. 11). After World War II, the leading industrial nations decided to reduce or eliminate restrictions to free trade. One outcome of this effort was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trades (GATT).
