President Franklin Roosevelt aimed to address the challenges faced by the American people during a time of technological and industrial advancements. It sought to tackle issues such as economic inequality, unemployment, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few. To address these problems, Roosevelt's administration implemented various programs under the New Deal, such as the Works Progress Administration, which provided jobs for millions of Americans, and the Social Security Act, which established a safety net for the elderly and unemployed. The New Deal programs were successful in providing relief and employment opportunities to those affected by the Great Depression. They helped stimulate the economy and improve infrastructure across the country. The Social Security Act, in particular, continues to provide essential support to millions of Americans today. However, the New Deal also faced criticism. Some argued that it expanded the role of the federal government too much and infringed upon individual liberties. Additionally, certain groups, such as African Americans and women, faced discrimination and limited access to the benefits of these programs.

The NRA and Roosevelt's Vision

The NRA was one of many efforts to try to reconcile the capitalist economy with a more inclusive and protective vision. It allowed for participation of industries and workers to create price and wage controls, as well as encouraged consumers to support participating businesses through the demonstration of the "Blue Eagle."

The NRA's fate

Like the other major economic legislation of the First New Deal (AAA), the NRA was doomed to fall to a Supreme Court decision ruling it unconstitutional. However, just as the AAA was reworked and remained an essential blueprint for the government's farm program, the NRA also lived on in laws like the Wagner Act. The Wagner Act established the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and supported the right of unions to organize and negotiate fairly with businesses.
