The
collapse of the New York Stock Exchange prompted a severe economic
crisis in the United States and, in its wake, around the world. In

elections. Roosevelt’s far-reaching program, the New Deal,
intensified federal-government involvement in economic life and
eventually pulled the country out of its malaise.
