Domestic Policies Addressing Economic Concerns in the 1970s

Hard Period 8: 1945–1980 Domestic Policies

During the 1970s, the United States faced a series of economic crises that significantly impacted domestic policy. Following the dual challenges of the Vietnam War and the oil embargo, American policymakers sought to address issues like inflation, unemployment, and energy dependency. Among the key domestic initiatives proposed during this period was an attempt to control inflation and promote economic stability.

Considering this context, which of the following domestic policy initiatives was primarily focused on addressing economic concerns during the 1970s?
