Summary
The New Deal was a transformative series of federal programs and reforms led by Franklin D.
Roosevelt that aimed to stabilize the American economy during the Great Depression through relief, recovery, and permanent structural change.
By establishing enduring institutions like Social Security and the FDIC, the initiative fundamentally redefined the relationship between the government and its citizens, creating a modern social safety net that persists today.
