Question

Which quotation sums up Herbert Hoover's view of the Great Depression in 1933?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) "We are at the end of our string. There is nothing more we can do."

This sentence accurately summarizes Herbert Hoovers view of the Great Depression. This is due to the fact that Hoover was an advocate of laissez faire economics. This meant he favored as little government interference with the economy as possible. Hoover's belief in laissez faire lead him to believe that the government cannot take anymore actions than they already have taken to help America escape the Depression.

Along with this, all the other quotes are said by his successor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
