Hoover's Failures Of The Great Depression

Once Hoover entered into office, he wanted to reform the nation's regulatory system. He also believed that the Federal Government should be hands on in the economy. The major issues which were looming in the US around the time of Herbert Hoover’s presidency was the Great Depression.
