FDR And Hoover: Comparison

Abstract: 17 pages in length. Stifled by the economic conditions of the Crash of 1929, Herbert Hoover's presidential career was off to a bad start and only became progressively worse over the next few years. Had he lived in another time, his political prowess and idealistic policies may have worked infinitely better; however, he immersed himself amidst a quagmire of one bad policy move after another until the country reached one of its lowest economic points of all time. Franklin Delano Roosevelt followed behind Hoover in the presidential position and promised to clean up the political, economic and social disarray Hoover had left behind, a tremendous challenge he met head on and one that would ultimately establish him as the greatest leader of democracy, the greatest champion of social progress in the 20th century.
