Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Explore the successes and failures of FDR s New Deal, a set of legislation during the Great Depression which aimed to save the US economy. In 1932, one in four Americans was unemployed, marking the highest unemployment rate in the country s history. The Democratic presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt promised a New Deal a comprehensive set of legislation to support struggling citizens and put the country back to work. Meg Jacobs digs into the policies of this bold campaign and how it didn t fully live up to its promises. Geoffrey: Sooo disappointed. I was hyped and thought Wow, Ted-Ed made a video that will acknowledge that many economist agree that the New Deal hindered/slowed the US recover? They always seem too agenda driven to do anything like that. As usual, it only pointed out the positive side of government spending. The only complaint was the same multiple choice answers that are for all their content: A. Racism B. Capitalism causing climate change.

The need of the hour for current Indian ruling party to embrace & empower the poorer classes of the society, they can learn one or two from this 5 mins clip.
Governments should stand for the public that empowers them & not for the corporations that fund their parties, the government should act as a vehicle for society's betterment to establish Justice, Security, Peace and Growth for all its citizens irrespective of the race, language, color, faith and ability of the individuals.

Ted ed is so good at making boring topics interesting! I mean they're literally talking about law. If my history teacher would have told me this exact same subject, I would have fallen asleep halfway through the lecture.

Kaiser Wilhelm in the 1880 I will make sure there are jobs, social security and that people that can't work due to old age are cared for by the state.
Roosevelt in the 1930's Hey I just thought of something.

This myth that the New Deal lifted America out of the Great Depression is challenged by the fact that the Depression lasted for YEARS in the U. S. even after the rest of the world had recovered.

Nothing is easier than to have good intentions but, without an understanding of how an economy works, good intentions can lead to disastrous consequences for a whole nation. -thomas sowell

So literaly the same policies that were used to aid the US in its worst moment are the ones that are opposed by the political class who are afraid of deficit

As always, another amazing video. It's quite impressive to see Ted-Ed turn topics like this into easily understandable and creative videos.
