The Economic policies of Bill Clinton, referred to by some as Clintonomics (a portmanteau of ''Clinton'' and ''economics''), encapsulates the economic policies of United States President Bill Clinton that were implemented during his presidency. President Clinton oversaw a period of considerable economic growth and expansion during his tenure. In particular, real GDP per capita increased from about $38,000 in 1994 to about $45,000 in 2001 (in real 2011 dollars).〔http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?id=USARGDPC〕 The U.S. national debt as a percent of GDP also declined from about 66% to about 56% during Clinton's government.〔http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?id=GFDEGDQ188S〕 ==Strategy== As summarized by American political scientist Jack Godwin, Clintonomics encompassed both a set of economic policy goals as well as an overarching governing philosophy. Thematically speaking, Clinton’s economic approach entailed a perceived modernizing of the federal government, making it more enterprise-friendly while dispensing greater authority to state and local governments. The ultimate goal involved rendering the American government smaller, less wasteful, and more agile in light of a newly globalized era.〔Jack Godwin, Clintonomics: How Bill Clinton Reengineered the Reagan Revolution (Amacom Books, 2009)〕 Clinton assumed office following the tail end of a recession, and the economic practices he implemented are held up by his supporters as having fostered a recovery and surplus, though some of the president's critics remained more skeptical of the cause-effect outcome of his initiatives. The Clintonomics policy focus could be encapsulated by the following four points: *Establish fiscal discipline and eliminating the budget deficit * Maintain low interest rates and encourage private-sector investment *Eliminate protectionist tariffs *Invest in human capital through education and research 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Economic policy of Bill Clinton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
