As President, FDR was the major leader of the New Deal during the Depression. He gathered around him advisors to aid in creating legislation to combat the effects of the depression. His main advisors were called the Brain Trust and referred to three Professors: Raymond Moley, Rexford Guy Tugwell, and Adolph A. Berle, Jr. Soon others included Basil (Doc) O'Connor, Samuel Rosenman, and Hugh Johnson. The men developed FDR's economic policy and developed programs that became the backbone of the New Deal. This included regulation of the banks, regulation of the Stock Market, relief and public works programs, like the CCC and WPA.
