This Negative case is designed to counter the Affirmative case that shares the same value, although it can also be used to counter any number of Aff cases. Like the Affirmative Economic Welfare case, this Negative is very straightforward and policy-focused. However, it features just one contention and one very big application: the Great Depression.
The Great Depression is a recognizable economic phenomenon in world history, and so it has a lot of persuasive power. Your job is to prove that economic stability is primarily at fault for the Great Depression, and that policies valuing economic growth would have prevented, or at least lessened the impact of, that economic downturn. Make sure you read and understand the evidence thoroughly, because there’s a lot of economic analysis that can be difficult to process. That complexity also makes it difficult to refute, but you have to understand your own support in order to effectively use it. If you can properly implement the analytical and persuasive tools of this case, it’s going to be very difficult for your opponent to gain traction and win the ballot.
