Critical Thinking 23-3!

Some critics have charged that the New Deal was antibusiness and anti-free enterprise. Explain why you agree or disagree with this charge.

When looking at the New Deal I have to agree that many aspects of it were anti business and anti-enterprise. This is because the New Deals supported and showed a growth in federal power and that didn't go well with bushinesses and enterprises. Roosevelt was said to have made the federal government too large and too powerful and that it completely overpowered free enterprise and individuals business. Roosevelt need to create a strong federal government to try and help the economy but this had a negative effect on smaller enterprises.
