When Roosevelt took office in March 1933, the nation was on the verge of financial collapse. The Great Depression was one of the greatest economic downturns of the world history, much like today’s economy due to Covid 19. This online program explores the dramatic actions taken by FDR to prevent the collapse of America’s banking system during his first week as president.
Jeffrey Urbin, Roosevelt Library Education will discuss how the role of banks played in keeping the economy stable for investments. Bank failures can have a large impact on individuals and communities. What is the goal of Glass-Steagall banking reforms and the importance of savings rates?
