Overview
""American Ideals Versus The New Deal"" is a book written by Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States. In this book, Hoover critiques the policies and programs of his successor, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. He argues that the New Deal, which aimed to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, was fundamentally at odds with the American ideals of individualism, free enterprise, and limited government.Hoover provides a detailed analysis of the New Deal's various programs, including the National Recovery Administration, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, and the Social Security Act. He argues that these programs were unconstitutional, inefficient, and ultimately harmful to the American economy and society.Throughout the book, Hoover emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility, private enterprise, and limited government in promoting economic growth and social progress. He also advocates for a return to traditional American values, such as hard work, self-reliance, and thrift.Overall, ""American Ideals Versus The New Deal"" is a passionate defense of conservative principles and a sharp critique of one of the most significant government interventions in American history.Includes Eight Addresses On Pressing National Problems, 1935-1936: The Bill Of Rights; Spending, Deficits, Debts, And Their Consequences; The Expenditures Imposed On The People By The New Economic Planning, Its Consequences And Some Remedies It Requires; The New Deal Further Explored, With Special Reference To The Bank Panic And To Relief; Further Explorations Of The New Deal, Including Agricultural Policies; The Confused State Of The Union; The Choice For Youth; Has The New Deal Solved Our National Problems?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
