The New Deal was the name given to FDR's plan to help the nation out of the Great Depression. It "believed" in government to help the economy and the three R's, relief, recovery, and reform. The New Deal legislation was proposed by FDR's advisers called "The Brain Trust." At first the Brain Trust 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.
