There were many agencies created by FDR to quell the depression, collectively known as the Alphabet Agencies. Some were later ruled unconstitutional, but most remained throughout the forties, and some are still acting today. The most successful agencies were the WPA, or Works Progress Administration, the Social Security Act, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Also successful were the FDIC, Truth in Secrecies Act, and the Rural Electreification Act, though the last came later.

Franklin DRoosevelt new ideal reformed the American economic system?

It can be argued that the New Deal (not ideal as you wrote lol) did reform the economic system, as it was a move away from laissez faire and so resulted in high employment rates which obviously meant that more money was being made in America. However, the New Deal was designed around three targets, Relief, Reform and Recovery. It is the general feeling among historians that the New Deal did well in targetting Relief and Reform (because its laws, such as the Alphabet Agencies*, helped Americans in a way that they had not been helped before when America operated a laissez faire policy). However, it is widely believed that the New Deal was less successful in achieving its 'Recovery' aim, as it was not solely responsible for restoring America's economy after the Great Depression of the 1930s. As your question asked whether the New Deal restored the economy, rather than whether it was successful, I think the answer is basically 'no', although it is worth bearing in mind the successes it did have.*The Alphabet Agencies refers to the agencies which Roosevelt set up to regulate different industries etc. These agencies were known by their initials, such as the AAA, and so became known as the Alphabet Agencies.p.s. it is always worth noting with historical questions that there is rarely a 'right' answer - historians will argue forever over most of these questions as it really boils down to a matter of opinion.Hope this helps :)
