Paper Summary:

The paper discusses Roosevelt's New Deal banking reform laws, emergency relief programs, work relief programs and agricultural programs that improved the economy of the country. The paper shows how the Great Depression represented a change in the way in which the society was viewed as a whole and it was realized that the economies of the world are interconnected and vulnerable to outside and inside changes.

From the Paper:

"The end of the Civil War represented for the United States one of the most challenging eras in its history. On the one hand, during this period the US had gained independence and unity and was then a sovereign country; on the other hand, it experienced one of the most flourishing economic periods of its history. However, in terms of the economic situation, the start of the 20th century would mark the most serious crisis of the United States and of the world. The 1929 economic crack represented a difficult time in its history and it was only FD Roosevelt that would get the US out of the economic slump."
