Support of Consumption Through Economic Transfers Viewed by Optic of Austrian School and Its Consequences for Example of Current Crisis in the U.S

This bachelor thesis deals with the relation between the growth of transfers and economic performance during the crisis. By means of the Austrian School looks at the issue of state intervention in the economy and on the example of America's recent financial crisis (2007 - 2010) questions the government actions taken to stimulate the economy. Recommendations of the Austrian School economists are constantly overlooked and during the crisis period the word gets Keynesian economics, whose validity has been questioned many times. The thesis deals with the macroeconomic indicator of GDP, which sees not inadequate for drawing conclusions on economic performance. This indicator on the contrary, due to more than 70 % weight of consumption, complies with policy makers in promoting stimulus packages to support the economy and other interventions to increase consumption. As a result of these interventions finds work, not sustainable economic growth, but growth of government itself. The growing volume of transfer payments, which should support the performance of the economy, especially led to a tightening of government power and its growth.
