Herbert Hoover believed that voluntarism, or the idea of voluntary cooperation among businesses, communities, and individuals, would foster economic recovery during the Great Depression. He thought that by encouraging private initiatives and self-help rather than government intervention, people would work together to stabilize the economy and restore confidence. Hoover believed that this cooperative spirit would lead to increased production, job creation, and ultimately economic revitalization without the need for direct federal assistance.
Voluntarism is a philosophical and ethical principle emphasizing the importance of individual choice and voluntary action in human behavior and social organization. It asserts that all human interactions should be based on consent and mutual agreement, rejecting coercion and imposed authority. In political contexts, voluntarism advocates for minimal government intervention, promoting personal freedom and responsibility. This principle is often associated with libertarianism and various forms of anarchism, emphasizing the autonomy of the individual.
