Another fact about Hoover.... he had the longest post-presidency retirement - some 31 years (1933- his death in 1964) until Jimmy Carter who currently stands at 37 years.
Now it’s 41 years
Now 43 as of 2024 and he is near to be a centinnarian
Honestly his best work as a politician was outside of the oval office. He was a mediocre president but a great organizer before and after, and his time as a statesmen towards the end of his career was also respectable.

The Great Depression has OnLy begun - Hover
He was still one of our most qualified Presidents though.
Yeah
Yep. A much better president than Franklin D Roosevelt.
@@davedaddy101 LMAO no idiot. Hoover did nothing, or at least didn't do much, in the depression. Roosevelt got us out of it and navigated through ww2.
@@poseidon2363 you need a good history lesson. But no one ever accused you of being brilliant.
@@davedaddy101 says the fool who himself requires one.
To be fair, he did try to keep the economy stable. He just didn't know what to do. A for effort.
It's sad because I think there's a good case to be made that he is the most misrepresented and unfairly treated person in history. He fed millions and millions of starving Europeans during and after the First World War. He was known as a great humanitarian and did so much good. He gets blamed for a Depression that would've happened regardless of who was in the White House. He lived for 90 years but is sadly remembered only for four of them.
A very interesting man. And ironically (for all his associations with the Great Depression) arguably one of the greatest humanitarians of the early 20th Century for his relief work in Europe.
He will never be seen as a great president for his lacklustre response to one of the worst financial disasters ever... but his many achievements outside should not be overlooked.
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
I believe Hoover did not start the Great Depression but he wasn’t doin well with the economy
Yes, Hoover didn't start the Great Depression. I saw the story with the bank and the newspaper story that started the depression. It wasn't Hoover, he just jump started it more without realizing that's what he was doing.
He helped 11 million people from starving in Soviet Russia.
And then in 1929, the market crashes and we find it's Herbert Hoover's big debut. He gets the blame.
and loses to Franklin Roosevelt, president who helped us win in world war two.
harry truman wierd little human serves two terms and when he is done
@@rhombusman19 It's Eisenhower who's got the power from '53 to '61.

Oh 60 seconds, and it’s PBS... I’m sure this won’t be a biased video at all! /s
Well apart from price fixing high taxes and government works, he was a die hard capitalist
Did I do that?
Hoover was a good person but let’s just say he got hooked on something in 1929
Here we have a guy whose right brain didn't know what his left brain was doing.
0:08 How Hoover Was Born
I don't think the Great Depression can be blamed on any one individual any more than the Great Recession can.
You can blame it on the the economic policies of the 1920s
@@cormacbowman6595 nah, it was the 1910s because of Wilson and the Federal Reserves
one of the worst presidents he tried to fix the depression but failed.
just like FDR but not as radical
@@TheUltimateDestroyer No, FDR actually succeeded since before ww2 the economy started to grow
@@supergamergrill7734 nah, it didn't grow until after Ww2 and that got the prize money, plus Truman took over and he was a way better president
Who else is doing this for school 😩
Herbert Hoover's Effort: B+
How dare a politician want the population to take any initiative in their own well being. Didn't he know the government should always spend and spend and spend on its children - the people?
Yeah um. Can you tell me which country does that in the modern age and is surviving
Coolidge DID NOT like Hoover. The people that made these videos need to study the subject before they start "teaching" it.
Why do you have a Picture of William Howard taft
Jackson Lux where did you find that info?
@@potatomannytheman ard u dumb?

Ha ha ha ha ha

Every time its funny 😯😂
Hoo?
lmao
It's "Paralyzed" lol
Oooooooops wall street my bad sort of😢😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The economy was correcting itself. Unemployment had dropped from 9% to 6% on it's own. The smoot hawley tariff act reversed this course and set the decade long great depression into motion.
Herbert Hoover is my Favorite President He is the best president in world history Herbert Hoover August 10,1874-October 20,1964
Are you blind
Benjamin Clawhauser was the 31st president.
Sounds good
Didn't do anything? Am I reading false history? Wasn't Hoovers whole outlook one of government intervention? He kept wages artificially high, kept credit inflated (the federal reserve added 300 million to credit in October 1929 alone). He started a bunch of major public works like the hoover dam. "We didn't admit it at the time, but practically the whole New Deal was extrapolated from programs that Hoover started" -Rexwell Tugwell
I think the issue is he did too much. The economy is like water that needs to find it's level. If wages go down and prices go higher so be it, that is the natural flow and if you try to stop it you do more harm than good. This is the lesson that should be learned from Hoover. But we'll never learn that lesson, ever.
What? He started those Projects a few years into the depression. When it was getting Real bad.
What you wanted to wait a few more years to fix itself. Also if wages went down and prices went up. How would the people that are already poor buy it. And the market can’t buy it since Hoover put the biggest tariff in American history at the time
@@supergamergrill7734 what projects? Even if he did start building the hoover dam a few years in how does that make it any better? And what do you mean by they can't buy? What can't they buy? Yea when people are hurting and poor the first reaction, especially of a politician who wants to win votes, is to just print and give away money in the form of quantitative easing. But is that good for the economy that is the question? The answer is pretty clearly no. If you're in a lot of debt and can't afford that new car do you just borrow more money you don't have?
FDR and Hoover thought spending more money is somehow the way to help the country, I feel differently and believe the great depression lasted way longer then it needed to because of FDR
@@dylanoldham4137 If he started the Hoover damn sooner when the depression wasn’t that bad, he would 1. Put money into peoples pockets when they had money allowing them to have savings and be not frightful to spend it and 2. Save electricity bills for many Americans, allowing a inch more spending.
Quantities easing is Way better than autarky and the Great Depression showed that. President FDR did quantive easing and guess what. The economy was slowly recovering because people spent the free money they got Making the consumer economy alive again.
Printing, I don’t know about you but interest rates are soo low that it doesn’t matter and the world trade is pegged to the USA dollar, we printed 80% of our cash in one year and that hardly dented inflation. The only reason inflation is happening is because there aren’t enough goods because of the pandemic.
Under FDR the economy grew even Before ww2 why is it every time autarky is proven to be a failure people still hold onto it.
He had such a baby face! I think it was because he was born in the countryside earing pure foods and breathing clean air. Lots of country people from rural areas have the same plain big smooth face. His feminine features would attract a lot of gay men nowadays!!
So only state what he did bad lol
Maybe if the Great Depression Never Happened, He Would Be A Great President!
No he would be decent at best
@@supergamergrill7734 He would be atleast 20 or something
TOM Thumb S HAULT.
I think it should be investigated if the American states now and then are legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into sovereign, absolute, and qualified immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the president, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court for law decisions and actions. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death, how will it affect people's economy, etc.
I also think The Democratic party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to The Republican party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. The Democrats for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician.
Furthermore I think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the president, parties, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with misleading elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, and serious environmental crime (force majeure).
