Herbert Hoover turned to business to assure that business kept manufacturing and paid their workers but industrialists cut production because the economy could not buy much. Congress passed acts to assure that agriculture stayed productive but those failed too. Hoover tried to pump money into the big business so that banks and corporations would not fail and ultimately help the poor. This theory was known as trickle-down economics which means if you pump money into the top in the long run the people at the bottom will benefit.
