Abstract

This chapter redefines monetary and fiscal policies through the lens of public goods, arguing that their non rival and economy wide benefits require coordinated management to foster inclusive economic growth and employment. Drawing on post Keynesian theory, it shows how money, as a social technology, and fiscal policy, through infrastructure and investment programmes, shape expectations, stimulate private investment, and enhance welfare. Integrating theoretical insights with historical and contemporary evidence, including the COVID 19 policy response, the chapter underscores the importance of strategic coordination to overcome uncertainty, stabilize long term investment and strengthen macroeconomic resilience. It challenges conventional approaches that treat policies in isolation, advocating instead their design as complementary instruments for sustainable development and shared prosperity.
