FDR's New Deal: Tackling the Great Depression

Chapter 23 details Franklin D. Roosevelt's transformative New Deal in response to the Great Depression. Elected in 1932, FDR, a reform-minded leader, promised relief, recovery, and reform, supported by his advisors known as "The Brain Trust." He swiftly implemented significant legislation during the critical "Hundred Days" (March 9 – June 16, 1933), passing over 15 major bills. This era marked an expansion of the government's role in the economy, focusing on immediate relief, boosting consumer demand, and enacting permanent reforms to prevent future economic disasters.
