New Deal, l'audace d'un homme

Élu en novembre 1932, alors que la crise économique ravage les États-Unis, Franklin Delano Roosevelt met de suite toutes ses promesses de campagne à exécution : c’est l’heure du « New Deal ». Imaginé pour redresser une nation au bord du gouffre, où le chômage surfe avec des sommets jamais atteints et où les travailleurs pauvres subissent la précarité du marché de l’emploi, ce plan audacieux doit redonner de l’espoir à un pays meurtri avant toute chose.

Elected in November 1932, as the economic crisis ravaged the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt immediately put all his campaign promises into action: it was time for the "New Deal". This bold plan, designed to turn around a nation on the brink of collapse, where unemployment was at an all-time high and the working poor were suffering from the precariousness of the job market, was intended to give hope to a country that had been battered before anything else. Once he came to power, the new president from the Democratic Party immediately passed some fifteen laws designed to revive the economy.
