The "first" New Deal dealt with mostly immediate measures of getting the unemployed back to work and providing welfare and recovery. As the Depression continued, FDR began to feel the heat of his critics, both left (Huey Long, Share the Wealth, Charles Townsend, socialists) and right (conservative businessmen, laissez-faire supporters, anti NIRA regulations). To combat these critics, FDR proposed a new set of economic and social measures to fight unemployment and poverty, and to provide real jobs to decrease the unemployment rate. Examples of the Second New Deal included the WPA, which was the major relief agency of the New Deal. It was to provide work, not welfare. The major new piece of legislation during the Second New Deal was the Social Security Act of 1935. It provided insurance for the aged, unemployed, and disabled and it was based on contributions by both employers and employees.

When Great Economic Depression started?

There was no 2nd Great Depression. Many thought the Great Recession would be a great depression but that was not the case. In reality, the economy was not even close to another great depression. The great depression included such things as wage fixing and pricing fixing by the government, excess public debt from WW1, Smoot-Hawley act, etc. The Great Recession was just a financial breakdown, which is bad, but not a GD.

Did Machiavelli know about the Arthashastra?

I think he may well have done. It is known that Machiavelli did know about the works of the Greek philosophers who put out a great deal of work during the 2nd century BCE. This was also the time of Ashoka the Great of the Maurya Dynasty. It is known that Ashoka was strongly influenced by the Arthashastra and he also had a great deal of contact with the Greek Philosophers of the time. It therefore seems highly likely (at least in my view) that Niccolò Machiavelli gained some knowledge of the Arthashastra during his study of Greek Philosophy. I would go further than that though. It is my conjecture that Machiavelli was adept at plagiarizing the Arthashastra. If this is true then works such the his masterpiece the Prince should be attributed to Chāṇakya (c.350 -383 BCE).


Which country was least effected by the Great Depression?

Germany. With the depression came the rise of the NAZI party and the outbreak of the Second World War. Without Germany there would have been no major conflict in the 2nd half of the century. The Soviets would not have been able to dominate Eastern Europe as much as they did. Maybe an arms race, maybe not... It goes on and on.
