2. Some educations schemes may not be relavant
  1. i.e. Madonna Studies will be irrelavant to future work opportunities
3. Other policies such as cutting interest rates may actually be more effective
4. Conflicts of S-SP
  1. Increased gov. spending & tax can cause disincentives
5. Depends on the Magnitude of the Change

Privatization
1. Improves Efficiency, more is produced in econ therefore AS also shifts outwards
2. Increases Competition therefore AS shifts outwards
Education & Training
1. Quality of Labor Improves, therefore more people are working thus AS shifts out
2. More people are in work therefore consumption rises causing AD to shift outwards
Deregulation

2. Increases competition within firms
Promotion of Competition
