I will be focusing on just a few key areas that have been struck due to the recession for President Obama and the Great Depression for President Roosevelt and how each man either fixed the problem or is attempting to. Here is just a short list of issues: unemployment rate, financial institutions and the stock market. Just like President Roosevelt, President Obama hit the ground running with his uncanny ability to act upon the economic crisis that was yet again effecting the American people. Obama scored major points with the people since within his first hundred days in office he was able to get congress a much needed stimulus package for their approval that would take care of the financial crisis the American people were facing with major businesses and financial institutions declining at a very fast pace. However, Roosevelt was facing a much worse scenario with an unemployment rate of nearly 25% after the stock market crash of 1929.
Yet the numbers cannot be avoided if we are to paint an accurate picture. The challenge for the historian lies in bringing statistics to life so they tell a story with some of the human qualities that Lange and Steinbeck invested in their subjects. In looking at the 1930s in particular, historians are lucky because social scientists and government officials tried hard to quantify the human circumstances of the era. In particular, historians of the Dust Bowl era have been able to benefit from the federal population count of 1940, which was the first modern census. The federal census had been taken every decade since 1790, because its data was needed to apportion each state's seats in the House of Representatives, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

Why this Leader was successful What made President Franklin Roosevelt a successful leader was that he had so many styles that was unique and capable in accomplishing tasks as president of the United States. Roosevelt had gained the attention of the Americans with his democratic leadership style. “A democratic leader is one that is primarily concern with human relations and teamwork, communication that is open and usually two-way, and creates a spirit of collaboration with joint effort that results in a staff satisfaction” (Sullivan, 2009, p. 46). President Roosevelt had these and more to accomplish the goals he set out to do. His charismatic style allowed him to connect with the Americans, especially during the Great Depression.
Explain why Liberal Reforms were successful in appealing to the working class? From the emergence of new Liberalism after Gladstone, the concern for a healthier workforce and the strive to get more votes from the working class, the Liberals had to pass certain reforms that appealed to people like children, workers, sick and elderly. These reforms were overall very successful, as they were start of collectivism in our society and an end to the laissez faire attitude that the government once had. Liberals were very successful in achieving a significant degree of social change in Britain and paved the way for the establishment of a welfare state. The competition with other countries like America and Germany influenced our politicians to look deeper into the society and solve the social and economic issues that weakened our nation.
When Franklin D Roosevelt came to power in 1933, first of all he promised a new deal. Roosevelt was clear that he would use his full power to get the US out of depression. His main objectives was getting Americans back to work, protecting their savings, providing relief for the sick, old and unemployed and also getting American industry and agriculture back on their feet. For Roosevelt’s first 100 days, he worked with a fast pace of activity. In the months between the US elections, the economic state was at a low.
Much of this investment came from already industrialized countries like Germany, Great Britain, and France whose business owners looked for new investment opportunities in the United States. These investors put money into the work of mechanics and engineers with the expertise to develop new, more efficient ways of mass-producing goods. Machines benefited the United States by allowing business owners to specialize in the production of goods and manufacture them in large quantities to distribute throughout the nation or export. As a result, the cost of mass-produced goods went down as their quantity went up causing industrial profits to rise. With the creation of transcontinental railroads and telephones, marketing nationally was available to distribute these goods.
Moreover, this then led to changes in the supply of money, the concept of credit, and in forms of investment. This in turn brought new understandings of economics. Along with this, the industrial revolution led to the prosperous trade not only across the English Channel to Europe, but across the oceans to Africa, Asia, and North and South America. Not only this, but between 1800-1850 the national income rose by two-hundred-thirty percent. Economic stability and growth led to people being well fed, to have proper housing, and gave people opportunities to not be dependent on an agricultural income.
In both Europe and America industrialization brought about similar changes that included:  Increase of production  Increased labor force  Accelerated technological advances  Expanded trade markets  Population growth  Labor issues All of these changes are still evident in our world today as will be demonstrated in this paper. Democracy took different paths in America and England but had similar effects. The Industrial Revolution gave voice to the people thanks to economic growth and enabled the lower class to overcome suffrage. America’s Journey through Democracy and the Industrial Revolution England established its first successful colony in Jamestown, VA and many colonies soon followed. Many of the colonies were self governed and exercised representative government.
And its very success creates new challenges and opportunities for American policymakers. This white paper describes the role of entrepreneurs in sparking and expanding our current economic boom. If one were to pick a word that summarizes what entrepreneurs do, “innovation” would fit the bill. Entrepreneurs’ embrace of innovation has concrete benefits for our national bottom line: 4 4 4 4 Entrepreneurs use innovations to improve our quality of life. Entrepreneurs create new jobs.
