Explain the philosophy on which Herbert Hoover based the programs he implemented in an attempt to deal with the problems of the Great Depression and explain why his programs failed to deal adequately with the Depression crisis
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Hoover urged voluntary action for dealing with the problems of the Depression. While he increased federal action, he refused to in any way impinge on the power of state government or provide direct federal relief, for fear of disturbing traditional state-federal relations. He did encourage passage of the Agricultural Marketing Act and establishment of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make loans to businesses.
