• With the offer-oriented economic policy after Friedman, also parallel politics mentioned, stop themselves the equilibrium of supply and demand automatically, since the basic assumption of this conception is the stability of the market.
• With the inquire-oriented economic policy (Keynesianismus) after Keynes, also anticyclical policy mentioned, must activate the state in recessions relating to market conditions the economy by Deficit Spending.

Substantial subranges of the economic policy are the fiscal policy, the monetary policy, the external trade politics and the wage policy.
