Lecture 19
Liberalism at High Noon: The New Deal
The stock market crash of 1929 was an indication of serious, underlying problems in the United States economy, but it was not the sole cause of the Great Depression. The Crash merely made the cracks in America's superficial prosperity much more obvious. And, since the causes of the economic crises were complex, the solution to the economic problems facing the United States would be complicated as well. This lecture examines the first few years of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, the New Deal, and the federal government's attempt to lift America out of the Depression. Some questions to keep in mind:
  • What role did the unequal distribution of wealth play in sustaining the Depression? What techniques did FDR use to boost his popularity? Was he successful? Compare Hoover's philosophy of government to FDR's. Were there any salient differences? Explain the concept of "the broker state." How did FDR go about doing the duties of a modern president?
  • Cracks in the Economic Foundation
    After the Great Crash, the American public sought a scapegoat for the economic collapse. Some held President Hoover responsible, others targeted the "three B's"brokers, bankers, and businessmen. But the cause of the Great Depression could not be attributed to one individual or even a group of people. The roots of the Great Depression were in the very structure of the American economy, namely:

    Lecture 18
    Crashing Hopes: The Great Depression
    In 1929, Yale University economist Irving Fisher stated confidently: "The nation is marching along a permanently high plateau of prosperity." Five days later, the bottom dropped out of the stock market and ushered in the Great Depression, the worst economic downturn in American history. Although Americans often believe that the Crash was the starting point of the Great Depression, many historians point out that it wasn't the sole cause. This lecture examines the roots of the Crash and the effect of the Great Depression on the American public. Some questions to keep in mind:
  • Why were Americans so confident in the stock market in the years leading up to the Great Depression? How did the Psychology of Consumption shape the causes and effects of the Crash? How did stock market investing change during the 1920s? Who were the main investors and how did they pay for their investments? Explain the statement: "By 1929, much of the money that was invested in the stock market did not actually exist."

    The Great Depression started with the Wall Street stock market crash of 1929 and began the worst economic crisis in the history of the United States. It had devastating effects on all sectors of the economy for over a decade. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs, businesses failed and financial institutions collapsed. Wages for workers who were lucky enough to have jobs fell drastically. The unemployed stood in long lines at soup kitchens waiting for something to eat and many went hungry. The duration of the depression was too long for any community to endure such hardship.

US-Geschichte Deutsch In October 1929 the stock market crashed, wiping out 40 percent of the paper values of common stock and triggering a worldwide depression. By 1933 the value of stock on the New York Stock Exchange was less than a fifth of what it had been in 1929. Business houses closed their doors, factories shut down and banks failed. Farm income fell some 50 percent. By 1932 approximately one out of every four Americans was unemployed. The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country's productive capacity and the ability of people to consume. Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war raised the output of industry beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S. farmers and wage earners. The presidential campaign of 1932 was chiefly a debate over the causes and possible remedies of the Great Depression.

    General Summary
    The Great Depression lasted from October 24, 1929 until the economic recovery of the 1940s. On October 29, Black Thursday , the stock market crashed heavily, and continued to fall sharply throughout the coming weeks. As a result, the United States and the world were thrown into a decade of poverty and unemployment. The depression affected all sectors of the economy. Farm owners and agricultural workers suffered from falling crop prices. Businesses failed from a lack of investment support and a decline in the ability of the masses to afford their products. Banks closed their doors as the nation's citizens hoarded their money and defaulted on loan payments. Unemployment and abject poverty enveloped the nation. Herbert Hoover was President of the United States at the onset of the depression. His message to the people was one of continued belief in recovery, even in the face of worsening conditions. Though he eventually sparked some government action in an effort to curb the effects of the depression, he believed in the power of the economy to right itself without government intervention. The situation did not improve, and dissent grew throughout the nation. Hoover lost the presidency to

    CHAPTER 10: The New Deal and World War
    An Outline of American History
    "We must be the great arsenal of democracy."
    President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1941

      ROOSEVELT AND THE NEW DEAL In 1933 the new president, Franklin Roosevelt, brought an air of confidence and optimism that quickly rallied the people to the banner of his program, known as the New Deal. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," the president declared in his inaugural address to the nation. In a certain sense, it is fair to say that the New Deal merely introduced types of social and economic reform familiar to many Europeans for more than a generation. Moreover, the New Deal represented the culmination of a long-range trend toward abandonment of "laissez-faire" capitalism, going back to the regulation of the railroads in the 1880s, and the flood of state and national reform legislation introduced in the Progressive era of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. What was truly novel about the New Deal, however, was the speed with which it accomplished what previously had taken generations. In fact, many of the reforms were hastily drawn and weakly administered; some actually contradicted others. And during the entire New Deal era, public criticism and debate were never interrupted or suspended; in fact, the New Deal brought to the individual citizen a sharp revival of interest in government. When Roosevelt took the presidential oath, the banking and credit system of the nation was in a state of paralysis. With astonishing rapidity the nation's banks were first closed and then reopened only if they were solvent. The administration adopted a policy of moderate currency inflation to start an upward movement in commodity prices and to afford some relief to debtors. New governmental agencies brought generous credit facilities to industry and agriculture. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured savings-bank deposits up to $5,000, and severe regulations were imposed upon the sale of securities on the stock exchange.

    DEPRESSIONS : The Great Depression
    The years since the United States became an industrial economy have seen one Great Depression, that of 1929-1941. Whether assessed by the relative shortfall of production from trend or by the duration of slack production, the Great Depression was of an order of magnitude larger than any others. Thus this essay breaks chronological order and considers it first. It is straightforward to narrate the slide of the United States into the depression. The 1920s saw a boom as firms invested in capacity and consumers bought durable goods on credit in quantity for the first time. The boom was the result of optimism: businesspeople and economists believed that the newly born Federal Reserve would stabilize the economy and that the pace of technological progress guaranteed rising living standards and expanding markets. The Federal Reserve's attempt in 1928 and 1929 to raise interest rates to discourage stock speculation brought on an initial recession. Caught by surprise, firms cut back their own plans for further purchase of producer durable goods, and firms making producer durables cut back production; out-of work consumers—and those who feared they might soon be out of work—cut back purchases of consumer durables, and firms making consumer durables faced falling demand as well. Businesspeople, economists, and politicians—most memorably Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon—expected the recession of 1929-1930 to be self-limiting. Earlier recessions had come to an end when the gap between actual and trend production was as large as in 1930. They expected workers with idle hands and capitalists with idle machines to try to undersell their still at-work peers. Prices would fall. When prices fell enough, entrepreneurs would gamble that even with slack demand production would be profitable at the new, lower wages. Production would then resume.
