Nazi Economics

I would like to add as I have stated in the previous round due to a lack of characters that Franklin Delano Roosevelt's plan was more efficient at dealing with the problem. New Deal: Jobs-12 million jobs were lost in The Great Depression which made up more than half of the American population. The Great Depression had devastating effects in countries both rich and poor. Unemployment in the U.S. rose to 25% and in some countries rose as high as 33%. Congress responded with dozens of bills for huge public works programs providing a very well needed relief and pro-worker legislation. Roosevelt also has stated that he was working towards creating a Capitalist economy. The private industry collapsed, so the government was forced to replace the private sector in a lot of ways to create a stable economy. The Public Works Administration put hundreds of thousands of people back to work on a variety of projects such as building new schools, libraries, hospitals, post offices, and playgrounds for the expanding population. They built Roads, bridges, and dams which were bound to collapse. In those six years, 8,000,000 workers with monthly earnings adding up to a living wage. The Civilian Conservation Corps put approximately 2,750,000 idle young men to work to reclaim government owned land. This economy not only worked for the common man, but for intellectuals who were aiming to do more with there lives. Thousands of unemployed writers, actors, musicians, and painters were given an opportunity to earn a most livelihood for their artistic talents. This is in just one of the many ways that the New Deal outweighs Nazi Economics. They provided jobs that could meet the needs of one's specific abilities. The National Youth Administration made it possible for 1.5 million high school students and 600,000 college students to continue there education. It also gave them part time jobs that met their expenses. The New Deal also created Tennessee Valley Authority produced cheap electric power and fertilizer. This gave the foundation for the tech era which will explode in the 80s. The economics system will gave 20 million Americans jobs, and allowed Americans to prosper during relatively tough times. Now, I will provide the reasons why this system is better at creating an effective economic policy for a country. 1. GNI Increased under Nazi Rule Pro clearly argues that wealth and the GDP is increasing which is unfair to the resolution. GDP was rising, because Nazi Germany occupied a large amount of Europe. This argument is irrelevant to the debate if it is purely about economics. 2. Unemployment Pro fails to explain where the jobs went. All pro says is there was construction of highways. I assume that a lot of jobs were focused on military, and highways. The New Deal was more efficient, because it created a variety of jobs for people with different talents, and also decreased the unemployment rate to less than 2%. The New Deal allowed for the construction of schools, hospitals, and electrical power. There was a rebuilding of intellectual pursuits that The New Deal provided. The productions of the WPA Theater Project, for example, entertained a phenomenal audience totaling 60 million people, a great many who had never before seen a play. The Nazis did very little in this field, and were completely outweighed by American economics at this point. 4. Moochers off Welfare didn't exist This could also be due to the fact that the government killed those that they viewed unproductive in there society. Also, Pro has yet to find evidence that states that moochers existed in the New Deal era of America. Non Reliance of global macro economics Pro does not explain in full detail how exactly global economics hurts normal countries. Nazi Germany also did not need global economics, because of their imperialistic pursuits. The New Deal was trying to create a country where Capitalism again could flourish, and it did that. Statistics on America: -Unemployment rate is 4.9%. -America's GDP is 17.43 trillion dollars. -America's assets combined equal 225 trillion dollars. -Inflation has certainly been very low. During the past five years, the consumer price index has increased at an annual rate of just 1.5%. My concluding statement will be include a defense to what Pro has stated about my arguments. The resolution states Nazi rule over Germany created a better economy. Terms: Better- of a more excellent or effective type or quality I would also like my opponent in the next round to answer these two questions, because I believe that they are very important in deciding which economy is more efficient. Were jobs in Nazi Germany focused more on military and infrastructure? How did the Nazi economy suit the needs of intellectuals and artists? Why did the New Deal create a more effective economy, than Nazi Germany? The New Deal and Nazi Economics have one significant similarity. They both came extremely close to eliminating unemployment. The is an impact that holds significance in any economic system. But, the resolution is worded now to the quality of the respective economic systems. The New Deal created a more efficient economic system that had better quality. Reasons for better quality: -The New Deal created schools, hospitals, and dams that helped lead to a stable country where capitalism would flourish. -The New Deal made it possible for 1.5 million high school students and 600,000 college students to continue there education by providing them part time jobs to pay expenses. Pro provides no evidence of Nazi Economics doing something similar. -The New Deal put great emphasize on the young people living in America. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) put approximately 2,750,000 idle young men to work to reclaim government-owned land and forests through irrigation, soil enrichment, pest control, tree planting, fire prevention and other conservation projects. The young men earned a dollar a day, and they had to send part of their wages to their families back home. Pro provides no evidence of Nazi Economics doing something similar. -Monthly earnings during these times were 41 dollars which was very high for the time. Pro provides no evidence explaining the state of individuals during the German economy. -The New Deal employed thousands of writers, actors, musicians, and painters. The New Deal gave them the opportunity to live a modest livelihood for their talents. The productions of the WPA Theater Project, for example, entertained a phenomenal audience totaling 60 million people, a great many who had never before seen a play. Pro has yet to provide facts that prove that artists and intellectuals were being used to their full extent at this time.
