While one can easily suggest seemingly desirable policy measures that befit ongoing economic conditions, it is far from easy to find a desirable set of economic policy measures and implement them in a timely manner.

For successful management of the economy, one has to go through a complicated and sometimes agonizing process. First, you have to analyze the status quo of the economy correctly. One has to determine for example, with the help of economic theory and proper observation, what the real causes of the present economic stagnation are.

Is it the continuously declining price level, which no modern economists have assumed in building their economic theories? Or is it the public's worries about the future that are forcing them to save more and spend less? What else? It is no use just labeling the economy as a "deflationary situation."
