These acts were passed into law as a result of a determined effort by the United States government to strengthen and grow the middle class.

At the beginning of 1931, although deflation persisted and unemployment was high, the countries most affected were exporters of raw materials, and several of them had to abandon the gold standard.

By the end of 1932, almost every country in the world had done so. Great Britain, on the other hand, abandoned the traditional monetary system by letting the pound float, this produced its depreciation. This was the demonstration of the British leadership and allowed the British economy to recover reasonably free from the conditions imposed by an overvalued currency and high interest rates.
