Hoover’s Response
• Hoover urged business leaders to keep workers employed and to maintain wages.
Trickle Down Theory:
An economic theory when the government helps companies, the companies will then maintain production or increase production, thereby people will maintain their jobs or companies will hire more people and/or raise salaries. The people, in turn, will have more money to spend in the economy.
