The New Deal changed the role of government completely. Before the New Deal, government had essentially no role in steering the economy or in providing for the people. After the New Deal, the government has come to play a huge role in both of these things.
Before the New Deal, the government was expected to be more or less laissez-faire. It was supposed to just stay out of the way and let the economy rise or fall "naturally." If people were too old to work, they needed to rely on family. If a bank failed, its depositors were out of luck. The New Deal changed all of that.
c. Exchange creates value by moving goods from parties who value them less to parties who value them more.
Explanation:
Exchange is described as the process of changing some goods for some other goods.
Exchange clearly provides you with the goods you value for, and in exchange for those goods you pay the goods you do not value.
This, results in adding value to the goods acquired by you, and adds value to the goods given by you for the person to whom it is exchanges.
As for example when a cloth is purchased by me for $100 then such adds the value to cloth and because it was worth less than $100 for the seller it has added value to the cloth.
