The statement that best describes why a government's actions are important in macroeconomics is: government can use policy to influence the economy. There are two ways in which the government is able to guide the economy: monetary policy and fiscal policy. Monetary policy has to do with increasing or decreasing the amount of money that circulates in an economy. Both an expansionary or contractionary policy have repercussions, for example, an expansionary monetary policy will most likely increase inflation. A fiscal policy has to do with the taxes that are charged and with the government spending. An expansionary fiscal policy will increase government spending or decrease taxes, this causes inflation in most cases. While, a contractionary fiscal policy will aim to decrease government spending and increase taxes, this disincentives investment.  

The government controls industry by imposing various policies and it acts like both producer as well as consumer and these policies are used by the government to influence the economy.
