Stein (1969) notes, "The failure to pass a' Full Employment Act' is as significant as the decision to pass the Employment Act ." The Act also created the Council of Economic Advisers, attached to the White House, which provides analysis and recommendations, as well as the Joint Economic Committee . In practice, the government has relied on automatic stabilizers and Federal Reserve policy for macroeconomic management, while the Council of Economic Advisers has focused primarily on discussions of microeconomic issues . </P> <P> By 1940 the Great Depression was finally over . A remarkable burst of economic activity and full employment came during the war years (1941--45). Fears of a postwar depression were widespread since the massive military spending was ending, the war plants were shutting down, and 12 million soldiers were coming home . Congress, fearful of a return to a state of depression, sought to establish preemptive safeguards against an economic downturn . </P> <P> The White House relied on Keynesian economic theory to develop its strategy . The theory, set forth by economist John Maynard Keynes and his American disciples such as Alvin Hansen at Harvard, contends that unemployment is caused by insufficient aggregate demand relative to the possible aggregate supply generated by full employment . Swings in aggregate demand create a phenomenon known as a business cycle that leads to irregular downsizing and hiring runs, causing fluctuations in unemployment . Keynes argued that the biggest contributor of these shifts in aggregate demand is investment . </P>
