Worthy WPA Project Example and Recovery Questions
The note asks for an example of a worthy WPA project and questions why recovery efforts failed. It also asks whether a guaranteed profits plan could have produced recovery, inviting analysis of policy effectiveness and feasibility.
Economic critique of WPA projects and recovery policies
The author argues Lawrence WPA efforts wasted public funds and failed to create lasting employment. Government competition with private enterprise, fear of loss among investors, and ill effects of circulation policy hindered recovery. A guaranteed profits plan could have accelerated work and buying power.
