Alphabet Agencies
- TVA: Tennessee Valley authority - Diking of Mississippi River (Very Keynesian/ Make work)
- FCA: Farm Credit Association - Stabilize agricultural prices.
- NRA - National Recovery administration - Stabilize prices and Improve labour conditions.
- CCC - Civil conservation Corps. (Much like "Boy scouts")
- AAA - Agricultural adjustment Act.
- The Alphabet Agencies were instituted to guard sensitive areas of the country from further decay during the period of Roosevelt's attempts at economic reform.
Subjunctive Question: Would Roosevelt's attempts to rebuild the American economy have been very much affected by the absence of the Alphabet Agencies? How integral were they to the New Deal?
