The girl tried to search for the old man who helped her, but she didn’t remember his look due to the heavy rain. She was roaming the streets with the umbrella, given by the old man, when she heard an old woman shouting.
"Thief! Catch him! He stole my purse!"
The thief was running towards her. Guided by her insincts, she hit the thief with her umbrella, which caught him off guard and allowed his capture. However, the umbrella gifted to her by the old man got broken. The girl frowned as the old woman she helped approached to thank her. The old woman saw a shimmering in the girl's eyes, as if she was holding back tears, and she followed the girl's gaze to the bent umbrella in her hands.
Seeing this the old woman spoke with a soft, compassionate tone, “Don’t worry little girl. I will mend this umbrella and return it to you."
"No thank you." The girl sighed softly, "If I may, I request that you should mend the umbrella and help someone else who needs it, should the occasion arise." She gave the old woman a smile and handed it to her.
The old woman mended that umbrella and always carried it with her, just in case.
Answer:
FDR implemented many government programs.
Explanation:
Government programs are generally at odds with the idea of laissez-faire capitalism. Laissez-Faire capitalism refers to the economic idea in which market forces drive the market, and thus an invisible hand is often pictured with it. Instead of having the government pass programs to solve problems, laissez-faire economists believe that the market will solve societal issues (war, poverty, famine, social programs, etc.).
Thus, FDR's actions do not line up with this method because he was in the field of using government programs to solve the issues that arose after the war. FDR spent more money on the government, opposing the idea that market forces alone would help the U.S. out of the recession. FDR's First 100 Days program, in which he attempted to pass as much legislation as possible, particularly contradicts the idea of the invisible hand guiding the market.
