He was born in West Branch, Iowa, and he died in New York City, New York. Hoover studied at Stanford University. He became an orphan at the age of nine.

After the stock market crash in 1929, most of America went through a time of struggle known as the Great Depression. Many American’s lost their jobs, and the country was struggling tremendously. The current president, Herbert Hoover, failed to help make America great again because of his laissez-faire politics which basically said that the economy would work itself out. This idea of politics was completely useless because American’s not only wanted support from the government, but they needed it…

Calvin Coolidge was a quiet and somber man whose sour expression masked a dry wit. He was known as "Silent Cal." And after learning of his ascendancy to the presidency following the death of Warren Harding in 1923, he was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, in the middle of the night and, displaying his famous "cool," promptly went back to bed. Coolidge was born on Independence Day, 1872, and was raised in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. His father was a pillar of the community,…

Why didn’t President Hoover do anything to try and stop the Great Depression? President Hoover was widely criticized for not helping the citizens and just the farmers. People were struggling and needed help from someone with competency. People would go to the streets and would build small huts out of scrap wood, and call them “Hoovervilles”. Throughout the Great Depression, people were becoming homeless and unemployed because President Hoover didn’t do anything to try and help them. Throughout…

Subsequently in 1919, Hoover was named Chief of the General Intelligence Division, the General Intelligence Division would later become a part of the Bureau of Investigation, and in 1921, Hoover would be promoted Assistant Director of the Bureau of Investigation (Early Years With The Department Of Justice.)

When the depression first began Herbert Hoover didn’t think the depression was going to last and he gave many speeches to help people regain their confidence and give them hope which he thought would improve the situation. He also invited businesses, financial, and labor leaders into the White House to encourage them to keep their businesses open and to do their best to prevent layoffs and keep wages stable. (1085) One of the things he did to create jobs was to start government construction jobs…

When reading about president Coolidge’s life, there was one particular detail and recurring theme that I empathized with: Coolidge’s dedication to the public and his selflessness in pursuing his dreams. Coolidge made it a priority of his to chase after his goals not for vanity, but to improve himself in his capacity to serve others. He was a man who improved himself to serve the public, not a man who simply ruled the public to serve himself. One especially poignant example of this struck me on…

Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis’ published Schooling in Capitalist America during 1976, appears to have been a basis of radical as well as Marxist education theory. They argue that there is a “correspondence principle”, that explains how the internal structure of schools corresponds to the internal structure of the capitalist workforce in its organization, norms and values. This supported Louis Althusser’s ideas of close correspondence of social relationships in the school and the workplace via…

2.2 Can capitalism survive? “Can capitalism survive? No. I do not think it can.” That is how Schumpeter surprisingly starts another part of his book. Schumpeter is often criticized for this provocative statement but as he suggests the answer to this question is not as important as the facts and arguments that led him to the answer. Schumpeter’s main idea is that capitalism cannot survive. But it will not be because of its failures but because of capitalism economic successes. Those successes…
