"New Deal" just launched, it caused widespread concern in American society from top to bottom, different political groups to give it a different evaluation. Roosevelt's strong opponent, the newspaper king Hearst, said the New Deal was a crude deal; it was not Soak the Rich, but Soak the Successful. John Goodwin, the famous American journalist and writer, said he had heard the best definition of the "New Deal": "It is an attempt by some gutless liberals to save capitalism for the distraught capitalists."There was also a condemnation of the "New Deal" as a fascist fascination of liberalism.
American economists have two views on the "New Deal", one that the "New Deal" in encouraging the confidence of private enterprises without success, the basic conditions for the success of the capitalist order is to encourage entrepreneurial spirit entrepreneurs, and the induction of this spirit will need Stimulus and compensation, "New Deal" some measures is to suppress this spirit. The other group was Keynes and his followers, or half-followers, who argued that Roosevelt was not doing enough to make the national economy on the path of rejuvenation only if it really implemented a bold deficit-raising policy.
From Roosevelt's "New Deal" as the program for the presidency, to the "New Deal" throughout the implementation process, the United States has its two extremes of evaluation: a Roosevelt "New Deal" abandoned the American tradition, the most valuable liberalism Economic model, a socialist country like a "planned economy", many conservatives (such as former President Hoover) fear Roosevelt will banks, railways and other important national economic sector nationalization, and ultimately the United States onto politics The other is more radical point of view that Roosevelt's reform is not thorough enough radical people initially Roosevelt have great expectations, they hope that through the "New Deal", Roosevelt can not only solve the current crisis in the United States, But also to solve such as class, poverty, race and other deep-seated problems of American society.
It can be seen that the evaluation of Roosevelt's New Deal in the United States focused on the success of its intervention in the US economy, first, whether it was conducive to the political democratization of the United States.
