More than any of his predecessors in the White House, Franklin D. Roosevelt drew heavily on the thinking of economists as he sought to combat the Great Depression, to mobilize the American economy for war, and to chart a new order for the postwar world.

Most of the programmatic initiatives Roosevelt put in place displayed a remarkable staying power for over a half century.
