How did the government of the United States react to the Great Depression?

History
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
6 0
The last statement is correct.

When the Great Depression hit, Herbert Hoover was president. As an advocate of laissez faire economics, he felt that having the government interfere with the economy would have negative results. Hoover does create a few public works projects (like the Hoover Dam) in order to decrease unemployment but these programs are short lived. Overall, Hoover is remembered negatively by the American public, as he did not do enough to help America during this time.

This is why when he ran for re-election he lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Once in office, FDR implemented the "New Deal." This economic program was based around creating government agencies that would help decrease unemployment and improve American society in general. Along with this, FDR set up market regulations (like the Securities and Exchange Commission) to ensure that there is never another crash in wall street like the one in 1929.

3. What led Gorbachev to establish his policies of perestroika and glasnost? What
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

1. Mikhail Gorbachev was the man responsible for the changes that took place in the Soviet Union, changes that also led to its fall. Gorbachev established the policies of perestroika and glasnost, with the main purpose being to stabilize the economy that had downward trajectory, as well as make decentralization in order for the country to be easier for running. Despite the good intent, these policies were a big failure, and the Soviet Union crumbled instead of progressing.

2. The intended effects of the perestroika and glasnost policies were to make the country more democratic, get the economy back on track, decentralization for more efficient and easier running of the vast country. While the intentions were good, the real effects of it were devastating for the Soviet Union. There were numerous unintended effects from these policies, such as the gaining of power by the federal authorities, leading to their better organization, and eventual separation of the Soviet Union. The economy instead of recuperating, crumbled, with lot of people losing their jobs, the country going in bankruptcy, and the poverty being widespread.
