The 1930s – Essential ? #1 • What are the causes we attribute to the onset of the Great Depression of the 1930s/early 1940s?
Herbert Hoover a primer
Role of the President • “When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.”
Beliefs • Limited government • Continued prosperity – laissez faire, lower taxes • Relied upon philanthropy, not government aid, to cure ills • Saw government as a mediator, not a decider
