In this view, the New Deal did not end the Great Depression, but halted the economic collapse and ameliorated the worst of the crises.[183]. Instead their remedy, designed in cooperation with big business, was the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA). The Roosevelt administration had chosen not to sterilize the gold inflow precisely because they hoped that the growth of money supply would stimulate the economy. [166][167], At first, the New Deal created programs primarily for men as it was assumed that the husband was the "breadwinner" (the provider) and if they had jobs the whole family would benefit. [31], Roosevelt initially favored balancing the budget, but soon found himself running spending deficits to fund his numerous programs. The political responses to the crises were essentially different: while American democracy remained strong, Germany replaced democracy with fascism, a Nazi dictatorship. The Resettlement Administration (RA) and Farm Security Administration (FSA) had major photography programs. The Agricultural Adjustment Act created the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) in May 1933. However, conservatives proposed benefits based on national service—especially tied to military service or working in war industries—and their approach won out. [188][189], Challenging the traditional view, monetarists and New Keynesians like J. Bradford DeLong, Lawrence Summers and Christina Romer argued that recovery was essentially complete prior to 1942 and that monetary policy was the crucial source of pre-1942 recovery. The final major items of New Deal legislation were the creation of the United States Housing Authority and the FSA, which both occurred in 1937; and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which set maximum hours and minimum wages for most categories of workers. [188] However, before 1992 scholars did not realize that the New Deal provided for a huge aggregate demand stimulus through a de facto easing of monetary policy. [92] The WPA was organized by states, but New York City had its own branch Federal One, which created jobs for writers, musicians, artists and theater personnel. From 1933 to 1941, the economy expanded at an average rate of 7.7% per year.

They estimated that every additional $153,000 in relief spending (in 1935 dollars, or $1.95 million in year 2000 dollars) was associated with a reduction of one infant death, one suicide and 2.4 deaths from infectious disease. Membership in organized labor increased by 50% between 1941 and 1945 and because the War Labor Board sought labor-management peace, new workers were encouraged to participate in the existing labor organizations, thereby receiving all the benefits of union membership such as improved working conditions, better fringe benefits and higher wages. [156], However, since blacks felt the sting of the depression's wrath even more severely than whites they welcomed any help. Plausible self-seekers and theoretical die-hards will tell you of the loss of individual liberty.

Momentum in Congress and public opinion shifted to the right and very little new legislation was passed expanding the New Deal. As the bank run progressed, it generated a self-fulfilling prophecy: as more people withdrew their deposits, the likelihood of default increased and this encouraged further withdrawals. [125] Klein responds that the New Deal did not die a natural death—it was killed off in the 1970s by a business coalition mobilized by such groups as the Business Roundtable, the Chamber of Commerce, trade organizations, conservative think tanks and decades of sustained legal and political attacks.[126]. The underlying assumptions of this theory are subject to numerous criticisms and the theory is unable to posit any convincing explanations for the initial causes of the Great Depression. 171, 245–46; Herbert Stein, Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz, Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960 (1963) pp. Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (1988): 467. The Farm Tenancy Act in 1937 was the last major New Deal legislation that concerned farming. [57][58] Food prices remained still well below the 1929 peak. Food processors were taxed and money was given directly to the farmers for not growing food, decreasing production to increase the price. [68] New Deal economists argued that cut-throat competition had hurt many businesses and that with prices having fallen 20% and more, "deflation" exacerbated the burden of debt and would delay recovery. March 4 was a Saturday and banks were not open on weekends. When jobs were scarce some employers even dismissed black workers to create jobs for white citizens.

[13] When thousands of banks closed, depositors lost their savings as at that time there was no national safety net, no public unemployment insurance and no Social Security. Countless theatre productions around the country were staged. [197] Laurence Seidman noted that according to the assumptions of Cole and Ohanian, the labor market clears instantaneously, which leads to the incredible conclusion that the surge in unemployment between 1929 and 1932 (before the New Deal) was in their opinion both optimal and solely based on voluntary unemployment. The New Deal policies drew from many different ideas proposed earlier in the 20th century. [220], The New Deal was generally held in very high regard in scholarship and textbooks.

The other part of the new deal policy was relief and recovery ... providing relief for the unemployed, providing jobs for the unemployed, and motivating the economy to expand ... an expansive monetary policy.

In 1944, government spending on the war effort exceeded 40% of GNP. It was imbalanced on a temporary basis. Roosevelt had insisted that the projects had to be costly in terms of labor, beneficial in the long term and the WPA was forbidden to compete with private enterprises—therefore the workers had to be paid smaller wages. The analysis suggests that the elimination of the policy dogmas of the gold standard, a balanced budget in times of crises and small government led endogenously to a large shift in expectation that accounts for about 70–80 percent of the recovery of output and prices from 1933 to 1937.
