Topic 7.15
How do the economic policies during the Progressive Era and the New Deal compare?
The Progressive Era sought to build big businesses while the New Deal aimed at their dissolution.
Both periods were characterized by laissez-faire economic policies promoting minimal governmental intervention in business affairs.
The Progressive Era focused on breaking up trusts and monopolies, while the New Deal aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform following the Great Depression.
Both eras focused primarily on providing direct monetary relief to individuals affected by economic downturns.
