Did the New Deal End the Depression?

September 18, 2014 By Richard C. Young

Cato Institute Senior Fellow, Dan Mitchell

Here the Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell unveils a fascinating story of the New Deal, World War II era. Mr. Mitchell dispels long-held myths, makes historical complexities easy to understand, and offers evidence on how America can rejuvenate its economy.

It’s difficult to promote good economic policy when some policy makers have a deeply flawed grasp of history.

This is why I’ve tried to educate people, for instance, that government intervention bears the blame for the 2008 financial crisis, not capitalism or deregulation.

Going back in time, I’ve also explained the truth about “sweatshops” and “robber barons.”

But one of the biggest challenges is correcting the mythology that capitalism caused the Great Depression and that government pulled the economy out of its tailspin.

To help correct the record, I’ve shared a superb video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity that discusses the failed statist policies of both Hoover and Roosevelt.

Now, to augment that analysis, we have a video from Learn Liberty. Narrated by Professor Stephen Davies, it punctures several of the myths about government policy in the 1930s.
