The Main Measures and Objectives of Roosevelt's New Deal in Agriculture

During the "1-day New Deal", while solving the banking problem, Roosevelt tried his best to urge the Parliament to pass the Agricultural Adjustment Law and the National Industrial Recovery Law successively, which became the right-hand man of the whole New Deal.

Roosevelt asked capitalists to abide by the rules of "fair competition", stipulate the scale, price and sales scope of each enterprise, and set the minimum wage and maximum working hours for workers (the original workers worked 55 hours a week, and the salary was only 6 cents, and the adjusted standard was: the workers worked 4 hours a week, and the minimum weekly wage was 12 dollars). Thus limiting the monopoly and reducing and easing the tense class contradictions.

after receiving the reluctant support of large enterprises, Roosevelt then tried his best to win the support of small and medium-sized business owners. He said that it is important for large enterprises to accept the industrial revival law, "and the field that produces fruitful results lies in small employers, whose contribution will be to provide new employment opportunities for 1 to 1 people."

These small employers are actually an extremely important part of the backbone of the country, and the success or failure of our plan depends largely on them. " . The development of small and medium-sized enterprises has played a positive role in the social stability and economic recovery of the United States.

in order to implement the new regulations, the government awarded the "Blue Eagle" medal to the enterprises that accepted the regulations, which was marked with slogans such as "We Do Our Part" in recognition.

Social crisis of Roosevelt's New Deal:

(1) Faced with the economic crisis, President Hoover took some unsuccessful measures to deal with the economic crisis, which provided experience for the subsequent introduction of correct measures of Roosevelt's New Deal.

(2) franklin roosevelt replaced the embattled Hoover and was elected as the 32nd President of the United States, which provided conditions for the display of the talents of the New Deal. In other words, if he had not been elected president, there would not have been a New Deal in American history, at least there was no such name.

(3) From 1929 to March 1933, Roosevelt was the governor of new york, and the policy he implemented was the beginning of his later "New Deal" policy, which also created favorable conditions for the New Deal.

(4) The broad masses of the people strongly demand change. As for how to change, the rulers of the United States are opposed to taking the road of * * * capitalism and fascism, and most people are not prepared to accept it.

There is only one way out, that is, on the premise of preserving market economy and democracy, abandoning the policy of laissez-faire and self-adjustment by the invisible hand of market mechanism, vigorously strengthening state intervention in social and economic life and changing local production relations, that is the New Deal.

(5) The thoughts of pragmatism, progressivism and reform in the United States, including Keynesianism, in the late 19th century and early 2th century, the comprehensive intervention in the economy during World War I and the theoretical innovation of institutional economics in the early 192s-193s were the ideological movements before the New Deal, which all became the ideological sources of Roosevelt's New Deal.
