EvaluationStudents should make a judgement of the degree of success and failure of government policies to deal with the problem of mass unemployment in the Great Depression (note that there was a delay between the Wall Street Crash and the onset of the Depression). Students might argue that government policies made very little difference and that it was natural economic recovery and the impact of war that finally got America back to work; or that FDR and his New Deal Policies succeeded where Hoover had failed. One feature of answers at the higher levels may be depth and differentiation – for example, between elements of success and failure in New Deal policies, or in the interrelation of US government policies and the wider context of unemployment in the world economy. |
