Herbert Hoover versus the Great Depression
July 21, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
$10 – $15
As president of the United States from 1929 to 1933, Herbert Hoover battled the greatest depression in modern world history. Then, as a hyperactive former president, he conducted a strenuous “crusade against collectivism”—and especially against its manifestation in President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal. In this lecture, George H. Nash will examine Hoover’s controversial political career and its significance for today.
