Explore the successes and failures of FDR’s New Deal, a set of legislation during the Great Depression which aimed to save the US economy.
--
In 1932, one in four Americans was unemployed, marking the highest unemployment rate in the country’s history. The Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt promised a New Deal- a comprehensive set of legislation to support struggling citizens and put the country back to work. Meg Jacobs digs into the policies of this bold campaign and how it didn’t fully live up to its promises.

I think events like these clearly show that even from an individualistic standpoint it is better to have some "socialistic" programs as the only ones that don't benefit are the very rich. A bit more tax, but you receive far more in return and as a bonus, you are improving the country you live in

@moto-fl3rd 3 года назад

How can you receive more for you taxes than just keeping your own money in the first place?

@bobthegoat7090 3 года назад

@@moto-fl3rd To generalize think of it mathematically: if you had to pay 40% tax as a poor or middle-class man and earned 1000$ (just an arbitrary number) you would pay 400$, but a very rich man would pay 40.000.000$. And in a country of you two, you would then benefit more because of different projects, free healthcare, labor laws, and more that would benefit you. Just like in the video. If it were just a country of middle-class people it would take some more time as the tax would be a kind of investment in your country, but in a country like the US where the top 1 percent has more wealth combined than the middle class, it would surely be a great deal for the poor and middle-class and even those just above middle-class. EDIT: And as such a developed nation like the US, I am sure you can get this kind of system working without corruption set in like Scandinavia has been able to do EDIT2: But maybe you would first need a change in your electoral system so it isn't always the 1 percent that runs the country

This is such a disingenuous take on the results of the new deal. in 1933, the unemployment rate was around 17%. The alphabet soup and chicken chasing that occurred from then on to the WW2 mobilization saw the unemployment jump around from 20% to 12% back to 20%. There is no evidence that anything other than the mobilization (and the resulting reduction in economic uncertainty) did anything for unemployment.

This video is outright propanda here is the truth Biden's and Manchins ``Inflation Reduction Act '' = Big Spending Act is similar to the late 20's and 30's ; Hoover created the depression by undoing the previous administration policies of Harding and Coolidge. And while Franklin D Roosevelt promised to return to the policies of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge that had rescued America from the policies of Woodrow Wilson that had America with 15% inflation and 12% unemployment and the largest debt ever accumulated. It was Harding and Coolidge's policies that gave us a balanced budget for 10 straight years and reduced the debt to Zero. FDR promised those policies and turned around and did the complete opposite with big spending, high tax, high tariffs and turned the depression into the Great Depression and like Woodrow Wilson created the environment for another World War. Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau wrote we have tried every big spending bill, subsidy and high tax and it just doesn't work we have spent more than we have ever spent and it just doesn't work if you know your history economics is easy the only thing that works IS TO CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING, CUT TAXES AND CUT ALL SUBSIDIES and reduce tariffs as much as possible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T8RY6rkeR1k.html

And despite it all, it wasn't any of his new deal programs which "saved" the country. The USA was little to no better off through the 9 years (yes, entering his third term) of 1933-1942 than they were when he began office. Rather, hindsight revisionist history of a prosperous post-war narrative is what we got. No. It was the war economy of full industrialization, 4% unemployment and a bound nation though a common cause is what saved America - that was also never touched by the very ravages of war on the continental 48 states. With 100% of the benefits of a war economy and 0% of the drawbacks (having your cities and factories bombed) - that is how the USA climbed out of the depression as a super power. Please do not misunderstand me. FDR was an amazing president both before and during the war. However, his new deal and policies are also the cause of many problems the USA still faces almost a century later. Social security, for example, was not supposed to be permanent like it has become. Other nations have federally backed national pension plans and other superior methods of helping the elderly for retirement, yet the US is stuck with an ever growing monster they are too cowardly to solve.

FDR is considered by historians to be the third best president in U.S history. To illustrate this point the only two men/presidents who are ranked higher than he is are The father of our nation George Washington, and the man who ended slavery and the civil war Abraham Lincoln.

It's all ideological lies. They can Spina my story they want when 9t's not grounded in more harder sciences like economics, in this case. Check out 1921 stock market crash and how quickly they got over it. Pay close attention to how much intervention occurred. Very little. The great increase in spending of the new deal and inorganic investments prolong things that aren't actually in demand, and just prolong actual recovery. The tricky thing about political science is it's far too easy to spin. Make sure you get a healthy dose of economics or military warfare order things that actually define and constrain possibilities, such as how much food there is, incentives of how governments are structured, the money supply, etc.

Or maybe what saved American was not government spending programs that never go away when the economy does recover.

The New Deal was a raw deal for all Americans. Government ineptitude (i.e. refusal to use the already in-place protections from bank runs) that caused the Great Depression was used as an excuse to give the government MORE power over the banking system, and our lives. Additionally, unemployment was already decreasing before the New Deal was enacted; and when it was, unemployment went back up to depression levels. The New Deal delayed recovery from Great Depression. Lastly, the idea that the Civil Rights movement was part of the Democrat coalition is nonsense. It was the Democrats that were against the movement. TED-Ed needs to stick to myths and puzzles. History is not their strong suit.

By the early 1930’s only 6% of kids between the ages of 10-15 were being used as child labor and 75% were working in agriculture, usually on family farms. But the national law wasn’t passed until 1938. Now I think a law against child labor on the books is important, but in the US I wouldn’t credit this to the government
