Automatic stabilizers are economic policies and programs that automatically adjust to changes in economic conditions without the need for direct government intervention. A classic example is unemployment insurance, which provides financial assistance to individuals who lose their jobs, helping to maintain consumer spending during economic downturns. Another example is progressive income taxes, where tax revenues decrease during a recession as incomes fall, helping to stabilize disposable income and aggregate demand.
