Instructions
Governments  also  frequently  subsidize  local  industries  to  help  them  compete  in  the  global  market.  Subsidies  come    tax  credits  or  direct  payments.  The  most  commonly  used  are  farm  subsidies.  That  allows  producers  to  lower  the  price  of  local  goods  and  services.  This    the  products  cheaper    when  shipped  overseas.  Subsidies  work  even  better  than  tariffs.  This  method  works  best  for  countries  that  rely  mainly  on  exports.    sometimes  subsidies  can  have  the  opposite  effect.  The  Agricultural  Adjustment  Act  of  1933  allowed  the  government  to  pay  farmers    to  grow  crops  or  livestock,  which  let  their  fields  rest  and  regain  nutrients.  It  helped  the  agriculture  industry  but  raised  food  costs  during  the  Depression.
