Fiscal Conservatism

Fiscal Conservatism (FisCon) also called Economic Conservatism or Economic Liberalism in Europe and some other regions is an economically right-wing ideology that believes finances of the public body should be responsible and long-term sustainable although not strictly limited.

History
The term dates back to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal era in the 1930s, when many classical liberals began calling themselves conservatives because they did not want to identify with President Roosevelt's supporters, who called themselves liberals.

In the United States, since the 1930s, the term liberalism is associated with the welfare state and active government intervention in the economy, otherwise known as  Social Liberalism. Fiscal conservatives form one of three parts of the traditional conservative movement that emerged in the 1950s along with social and national conservatism. Many Americans, while classical liberals, also tend to identify as libertarians who combine support for tax cuts and government spending cuts with liberal views on social issues and a rejection of  interventionist foreign policies.

Beliefs
Fiscal Conservatism aims to reduce government debt by reducing public spending and avoiding deficit spending. In theory, this can also be accomplished by increasing taxes however Fiscal Conservatives would prefer to decrease spending.

FisCon around the world
In Canada,  the UK and other English-speaking countries, FisCon is typically associated with conservative parties. In Germany and other European countries, it is typically associated with culturally varied classical or economically liberal parties.

[[File:Cball-US.png]] Hardingism [[File:Harding.png]]
Hardingism is based on the views and actions of the 29th US President, former Ohio Governor and former Senator Warren G. Harding. Harding's presidency was marked by the drastic reduction of American interventions and the reduction of American fleets along with the United Kingdom and Japan, in addition to withdrawing American troops with several Latin American countries, such as Cuba and Dominicana, even refusing to renounce interventionism, promising to limit considerably, but intervened in Mexico. When he took over, the US was in economic crisis (crisis of 20), so he cut and lowered several taxes and abolished the tax on surplus profits, in addition to having encouraged new technologies (such as electricity and automobiles) and national works. He also increased the amount of industries and increased civil rights, especially for black people, but decreased immigration. In his government there were several corruption scandals, in which, along with other politicians, they were called the "Ohio Gang". Due to the high amount of corruption in his administration, Harding is often ranked as one of the worst American Presidents in history.

Rogernomics is an economic ideology that originated in New Zealand during the 1980s under finance minister Roger Douglas, and was a form of Fiscal Conservatism. It aimed to reduce government debt and deregulate the economy (which at the time in New Zealand was a welfare state). Unlike most other forms of FisCon however, Rogernomics is a slightly socially progressive ideology, due to Douglas' then membership of the New Zealand Labour Party. Douglas' economic reforms were controversial within the party, with many seeing it as a betrayal of Labour's centre-left values.
