I've never read any modern historian to say that the New Deal effectively fixed the Great Depression. So yes, I believe that most of those 51% and 74% believe the effect was nonexistant or small. Typically, something like "if FDR had spent as much on the New Deal as he did during the War, it would have ended the Depression". [1] (I.e., it was too little, as in my previous comment.) I welcome any references to historians claiming the New Deal largely fixed the Great Depression. (Or really, any option from a historian more positive than the quoted article.) Or...you know, just silently downvote this comment :) [1] https://www.thebalance.com/the-great-depression-of-1929-3306... |
