During great depression some people turn towards less Democratic to solve the economic crisis like they turn toward command economy from free economy to curb the economic crisis.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's New deal used government programs to help the nation recovering from the great depression.
The government created jobs by building new projects like roads, buildings, and Dams.
Businessmen and farmers got help from the government.
Slowly the economy becomes better until the advance of World War II.
Less democratic forms usually include economic means that are based on a command market system.
