Hoover, much like FDR, was skeptical about free markets
Hoover, building a world reputation as a humanitarian for his successful efforts to prevent starvation in Europe in the wake of [[World War I]], and his remarkable leadership of the business community as Secretary of Commerce (1921-28), was the major political leader of the [[Progressive Era]] in the 1920s. His name was a byword for devotion to duty, efficiency, and humanitarian public service. His reputation fell when he was unable to reverse the [[Great Depression]], and he became the object of attacks by Democrats for the next four decades. He was a hero to most conservatives, including senators [[Robert Taft]] and [[Barry Goldwater]].
