How did Hoover and Roosevelt differ in their response to the Great Depression?

History
2 answers:
nadezda [96]3 years ago

Answer:

Herbert Hoover was under the impression that the stock market crash of 1929 was a simple market correction, that it would go away if everybody just acted like everything was normal, and that markets simply do these things from time to time. Billboards circa 1930 with the blurb "Wasn't the depression terrible?" kind of summed up his tone-deaf approach to massive unemployment and runs on banks. He honestly believed that government intervention was not the answer.

By the time Roosevelt took office in 1933, he understood that no quick solutions were to be had. He did start a lot of public works projects, like the Works Projects Administration (which gave a lot of people short-term employment teaching, painting post office murals, and cleaning up public lands) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (which put a lot of broke farmers to work putting a utilities infrastructure in place in parts of the South, putting the pieces of a post-agricultural economy in place).

He also instituted several "bank holidays" to discourage panic-driven depositors from taking all their money out of their banks. Austerity became the new normal in America and stayed that way until the US entered World War II.

What effects did technolgy have on the agricultural sector in the postwar years of the coldwar?
Vsevolod [243]

In the postwar years of the Cold War, the technology made a real boom in the agricultural sector. The new machinery, the creation of better chemicals for treating the soil and plants, as well as for their protection from pest, resulted in much increased agricultural production.

The arable land that a single family was able to work on with the new technological advancements increased significantly. That led to significantly increased production, and also a significant increase of profit for the people engaged into agriculture. The higher production led to more stable food sources, thus in numerous countries the malnutrition was wiped away or minimized.

What occurs as a result of the movement of people and ideas?
lyudmila [28]
Without the movement of goods, people, and ideas, cities falter, economies wane, and societies wither. As local economies and their associated land uses have become more specialized, mobility has grown ever more central to the sustainability of human activity. Economic specialization, which has fueled productivity growth and propelled the dispersion of interlinked activities worldwide, is premised upon various forms of mobility, including the migration of labor from low-wage to high-wage places, the daily travel of workers from their homes to workplaces, the movement of materials to worksites, and the distribution of finished products to markets. When mobility ceases, as in the case of a natural disaster, not only do workplaces fall idle, but also people cannot get emergency medical attention, families cannot obtain food, and social gatherings of all sorts are canceled or postponed.
