The whole point of lower interest rates is to spur investment, so we can cure a lack of investment in economic downturns. Same idea with injecting liquidity into the system, i.e. printing money. What would happen if we spent an equivalent amount of money on an advertising
Well, what if we rephrase the question to be 5% advertising and 95% grants, tax breaks? Seems to me it'd work better. I keep coming back to the cantillon effect. It's also fairer to the people, the taxpayers, anyways.

It would be a form of fiscal stimulus. Would work better than further monetary stimulus, but the tricky part is getting the implementation and politics right.

Agreed. Same of course goes for giving money to banks instead of people.
