In popular imagery, Herbert Hoover is often stereotyped as a 'do-nothing' president who offered only nineteenth-century slogans for the greatest economic catastrophe in twentieth-century American history. Nothing could be further from the truth. This study examines the properties of an innovative approach to economic growth and stability formulated by Hoover and his associates during his years as secretary of commerce (1921 9) and inspects his deployment of this strategy from the White House following the Great Crash in the autumn of 1929. Attention is then focused on Hoover's attempts to reformulate his macro-economic programme as the depression deepened in late 1931 and 1932. Archival materials provide arresting insights into Hoover's aspirations for a new institution - the Reconstruction Finance Corporations - as a vehicle for stimulating investment through a novel form of 'off-budget' financing. To complement the discussion of Hoover's theories of economic policy in their various manifestations, the views of contemporary economists on problems of the day are surveyed."

Industry Reviews

'Barber has written an exciting, well crafted and important book that succeeds in what it sets out to do. It deserves a careful reading by all serious students of the Hoover period, American economic thought, and American economic policy.' The Journal of Economic History 'This carefuly researched volume is valuable for the insight which it gives into Hoover's changing economic strategy. It also presents, with great clarity, the varied opinions of professional economists.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
