Is this an essay question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like a lot of these history questions are written badly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. a review question that I will soon have to explain to my teacher

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

Can you post it the way it is written?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

identify the impact of business practices, consumer patterns, and government policies of the 1930s as they relate to the New Deal

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

You're right. It's written badly. But let's try to get something that you can say.

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

The 1930s in the US was the Great Depression. Lots of unemployment. Lot's of people who had lost everything they had invested. FDR though the Federal Government should become more involved in the economy as a way to relieve some of the suffering. All the laws and programs his administration came up with are known as the New Deal. (his name for it) Are we good so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

The Federal government spent lots of money on programs that would put people to work. They built bridges and paid writers to write and collect histories. Their's a whole bunch of programs, usually referred to by 3 letter acronyms like WPA. I can't remember them all, hopefully your text lists some of them. Social Security was also part of the deal as well as the first Federal Income Tax.

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

I'm not sure what the teacher is looking for on some of this. Business practices before the 1930s is what got us in that mess. Lots of people buying and selling stock at way over priced prices. During the Depression, businesses who survived cut costs way back. They didn't hire as much, credit was hard to come by so businesses did not expand. Things like building new factories and taking risks were cut way back. Banks foreclosed on properties quickly so they could limit their losses.

You have given me more than enough info where I can give her a full answer.

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

OK, if you're good, I won't try to give you anymore. Good Luck.
