"Please. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Roosevelt pressed the armrest of his wheelchair, sat up slightly straight, and said, "Now that the American economy is in a mess, what can the government do?" ”

Zhou Hexuan did not answer directly, but asked: "Is the government you just mentioned the federal government of the United States or the government of New York State?" ”

Roosevelt asked, "Is there any difference?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "If it is just the New York State government, then I am sorry, there is no good way to turn the situation around. ”

"What about the federal government?" Roosevelt asked.

"Strengthen the government's intervention in the economy and the market," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Of course, it will be difficult for this method to achieve good results in the next two or three years, because the huge inertia brought about by the economic crisis cannot be stopped by manpower." ”

Roosevelt asked, "What do you think of the anti-crisis measures taken by the federal government?" ”

When the economic crisis came, the Hoover administration did not sit idly by, and had already introduced corresponding countermeasures a few days ago.

President Hoover favored a liberal economic model and did not want the government to intervene too much in the market. His so-called anti-crisis policy is based on only one principle: to protect the interests of the big capitalists and big farmers, everyone else can die!

Zhou Hexuan analyzed with a smile: "Hoover believes that as long as large companies and large enterprises are protected, millions of workers in the cause will eventually benefit. So he used the expansion of credit and the reduction of corporate income taxes to provide financial assistance to big capitalists, regardless of the lives of small companies and civilians. This was a brutal approach, but Hoover was right, and I intellectually agree with his anti-crisis measures. ”

"Do you think he'll succeed?" Roosevelt raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "He will succeed in curbing the economic crisis from continuing to deteriorate, but the situation in the United States will get worse and worse, which is the inertial destructive force brought about by the economic crisis." So, when Hoover's first term expires, he may be able to alleviate the depression caused by the economic crisis, but his credit will not be remembered by the public. Instead, he is responsible for the economic crisis because he is the president of the United States. ”

Roosevelt shrugged: "He may be the most unlucky president in American history." ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded and said: "I agree with this statement, and I can also predict that the next president after Hoover will be the luckiest president in American history." ”

"Why?" Roosevelt said with interest.

"Hoover couldn't be re-elected because the voters were so disappointed in him," Zhou explained. When his term expires, if someone stands up and runs for president with an optimistic, positive, and fearless attitude, and then implements the right economic policy, then he will be able to save the United States and become a hero to countless Americans. ”

Roosevelt asked, "Will the next president easily lead America out of crisis?" ”

"Of course, because after a few years, the destructive inertia of the economic crisis has slowly passed. At that time, only greater government intervention would be able to put the U.S. economy back on track. Zhou Hexuan said.

Roosevelt asked again: "How can government intervention be strengthened?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "The economic problems of the United States are very complex, including financial, industrial, commercial and other issues. When the new president takes office, his first task is to straighten out the financial markets, and then to regulate industrial and agricultural production. If the economy is to be saved as soon as possible, the federal government can even step in to limit the price of industrial goods and the quantity of agricultural products produced. As for the relief of the common people, various public works can be set up to improve the income of the common people through cash for work. Moreover, overhauling public works can also drive the recovery of cement, steel and other related industries. ”

Roosevelt nodded again and again, and his son James suddenly interjected: "Mr. Zhou, the practice you are talking about does not seem to be a liberal economy, but more like socialism, or even communism. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I call it state capitalism. ”

To be precise, it is "state monopoly capitalism", of which Keynes is the most staunch practitioner. It's just that Keynes still believes in a liberal economy, and only began to change his mind after the Great Depression.

"I don't agree with you, and your approach won't work in the United States," James said. ”

"Perhaps." Zhou Hexuan smiled and didn't speak, and complained in his heart: So you can only sell insurance after graduating from college.

Roosevelt suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou, are you willing to be my advisor?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "It's okay to communicate between friends, but there is no need for consultants." What you need to do now, Mr. Roosevelt, is to curry as much as you can with the common people and wait for that election in a few years' time. ”

"Do you think I'm going to run for the next president?" Roosevelt said quietly.

"A governor who doesn't want to be president is not a good governor. What do you think? Zhou Hexuan asked rhetorically.

Roosevelt laughed: "Hahaha, I do have this idea. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Governor, I want to build a factory in New York State, and I hope to get your help. For example, preferential tax rates, such as avoiding being harassed by gangs, etc. ”

"Of course, that's as it should be, and you're more than welcome to invest in New York State." Roosevelt said happily. For example, today is the news of the company's bankruptcy, and Zhou Hexuan is the first to dare to open a new factory at this time.

After a fireside night talk, the guests and hosts were happy, only Roosevelt's eldest son was full of doubts.

Roosevelt, in a wheelchair, personally sent Zhou Hexuan out, and then returned to the bedroom in a happy mood.

His wife Eleanor asked him: "Are you so happy that you have obtained the method of economic governance from the Chinese?" ”

"No, more than that," Roosevelt laughed, "and it was an unexpected surprise that he showed me how to run for president." ”

Roosevelt had always been very ambitious, or rather ambitious. When he was in college, he took advantage of the mutual needs of the school and the governor's uncle (President Roosevelt Sr.) and relied on it to get into the school magazine's assistant, and then served as the editor-in-chief of the school magazine, and made a name for himself in the United States. To maintain that reputation, he even spent another year as a graduate student at Harvard, just to continue his role as editor-in-chief of the school magazine.

Before the age of 30, Roosevelt entered politics as a Democrat, while his uncle was in the Republican camp. The Democrats used this as a gimmick to promote Roosevelt to the throne, and by the time he was 31 years old, he had already become assistant secretary of the Navy.

A few years later, Roosevelt ran aggressively for vice president, and although he failed, he was hailed as a shining political star.

Until Roosevelt's leg was lame...... Star Fall!

Roosevelt, who had been depressed for years, had regained his confidence to be elected governor of New York, and his ultimate goal was the presidency.

Zhou Hexuan's words may not seem like much to others, but when they reached Roosevelt's ears, they pointed out the presidential campaign line for him.

Well, the American version of the Longzhong pair.
