The New Deal was not an attempt to introduce socialism in the US, although that is what its critics claimed. Indeed, many historians argue that because of New Deal policies, capitalism was saved. Although New Deal policies alleviated some suffering and offered hope to Americans in their bleakest hour, they did NOT solve the economic problems of the Depression. Rather, massive government spending during World War II ended the Depression. As a result of the reforms initiated during the New Deal, the US has not suffered another economic depression of the magnitude of the Great Depression. (Great Recession)
