12. Hoover's solution/s to the Great Depression:|
pishuonlain [190]

The 1920s were a period of optimism and prosperity – for some Americans.  When Herbert Hoover became President in 1929, the stock market was climbing to unprecedented levels, and some investors were taking advantage of low interest rates to buy stocks on credit, pushing prices even higher.  In October, 1929, the bubble burst, and in less than a week, the market dropped by almost half of its recent record highs.  Billions of dollars were lost, and thousands of investors were ruined.

After the stock market crash, President Hoover sought to prevent panic from spreading throughout the economy.  In November, he summoned business leaders to the White House and secured promises from them to maintain wages.  According to Hoover’s economic theory, financial losses should affect profits, not employment, thus maintaining consumer spending and shortening the downturn.  Hoover received commitments from private industry to spend $1.8 billion for new construction and repairs to be started in 1930, to stimulate employment.

The President ordered federal departments to speed up their construction projects and asked all governors to expand public works projects in their states. He asked Congress for a $160 million tax cut while doubling spending for public buildings, dams, highways, and harbors.

1930

Praise for the President’s intervention was widespread;  the New York Times commented, “No one in his place could have done more. Very few of his predecessors could have done as much.”  Together, government and business spent more in the first half of 1930 than in the entire previous year. Still consumers cut back their spending, which forced many businesses and manufacturers to reduce their output and lay off their workers.

In October 1930, with unemployment rising, Hoover created the President’s Emergency Committee for Employment (PECE) to coordinate state and local relief programs, and to develop methods for increasing employment in the private sector.  But with no direct control of funding for relief or jobs, PECE had only limited success.

As the Depression worsened, Hoover requested that the Federal Reserve increase credit, and he persuaded Congress to transfer agricultural surpluses from the Federal Farm Board to the Red Cross for distribution to relief agencies. Hoover asked Congress for even more spending on public works, and he continued to encourage states and private businesses to generate new jobs.

Compare and Contrast Wilsons economic and social reforms
Lina20 [59]

Woodrow Wilson's economic and social reforms were related to one another. Campaigning for the presidency in 1912, Wilson set forth a platform he called "The New Freedom." The ideas of the "New Freedom" platform called for various progressive reforms, a number of which were enacted during Wilson's first term in office as President.

Wilson's economic reforms included:

-- Tariff reform. The Underwood Tariff Act, passed in 1913, lowered tariffs for the first time in several decades. This went against protectionist interests of businesses and favored the common person as a consumer of goods, allowing competition that would lower prices.

-- Business reform: The Federal Trade Commission Act, passed in 1914, set up the Federal Trade Commission to put a stop to illegal business practices. This was another move that favored the American buyer over the big business owners.

Banking reform: The Federal Reserve System was created in 1913, and the Federal Farm Loan Act was passed in 1916 (to help farmers obtain loans). These were further moves to aid the average American over against the power of big businesses and banks.

All of these economic reforms aimed at helping members of society, a part of Wilson's overall progressive plans for social justice. During his administration, some other social reforms were enacted, such as setting a maximum 8-hour workday for railroad workers and setting a minimum working age of 14 for most jobs limiting work hours for minors. Some of Wilson's bigger campaign promises, however, never did get enacted, such as establishing a national health care system. And while the New Freedom campaign had promised social justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, in practice Wilson's presidency supported racial segregation. Thus, major social reforms were less successful under his watch than were economic reforms that benefited the lower and middle classes within society.
