the l act of 1932
Major Domestic Policy: Issues due to The Great Depression dominated Hoover's Presidency. The country had very low morale as technologies such as the radio and movies informed the public of the difficulties the country was facing. October 29, 1929 the stock crashed causing the spark of the Great Depression. It was caused mainly due to the debts of farmers, and the over speculation of the Stock Market. This then lead to the unemployed of close to 15 million people, up to ¼ of farms went bankrupt and were taken away because farmers could not pay taxes or their mortgages, causing a third of railroads to become bankrupt and over 5500 banks closed down. Hoover's ideas to end the Great Depression were for everybody to help themselves other then the government. Once he saw the Depression become more intense, he then moved on to passing bills to improve the homing establishments of the poor. In 1930, Hoover established a public works program with a budget of $150 million. Then in 1932, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was formed. This Corporation was able to lend up to $2 billion to large businesses and companies. Hoover's reasoning known as the "pump-priming" was created on the idea that by giving money to the businesses, the businesses would then give the money to their employees and would then end the Great Depression. This idea was a exact opposite of what Roosevelt had presented in the previous Depression.

How did Franklin D Roosevelt's New Deal break the Herbert Hoover's policies toward the depression?
Actually, Roosevelt's policies were similar to Hoover's but more extreme, and even people from Roosevelt's administration later admitted that they developed some of their ideas from Hoover. Both presidents favored government intervention into the economy and it did not end the depression. Hoover's policies turned a recession into a depression, and Roosevelt's policies turned a short depression into a decade long debacle. The depression did not end until Roosevelt took the US into World War II, when virtually the whole country was in a wartime economy. It is a common misconception that Hoover favored "free-market" policies. His Republican predecessors, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge did favor free market policies, and the result was the "roaring 20's" which was a period of economic prosperity. So to answer the question, Roosevelt's policies did not so much break from Hoover's, they only expanded upon them and kept the depression going.
