Education Clip: War Machine
About the Episode
Congress grants Roosevelt sweeping wartime powers to reorganize American industry. Roosevelt found himself working hand-in-glove with many “economic royalists” who hated him earlier. He put necessity above ideology, granted big contracts to big industry and overlooked trusts infringements and raised taxes on ordinary Americans.
