The Brain Trust was the name given to FDR's special advisors in helping to end the Depression. 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.
