During FDR's presidency, a significant economic strategy implemented was the New Deal, a series of programs and reforms aimed at providing relief, recovery, and reform following the Great Depression. The New Deal included measures to stabilize the economy, create jobs, and support vulnerable populations. Key initiatives such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and Social Security aimed to address widespread unemployment and social safety. The New Deal fundamentally reshaped the role of the federal government in economic affairs, expanding its reach and laying the groundwork for future social welfare policies, despite facing criticism and challenges during its implementation.
