'Happiness is just around the Corner #3'
… to whom it may concern
Inspired on the quote of president Hoover: "Prosperity is just around the corner"
After the Wall Street Crash [1929]: Herbert Hoover, the Republican president believed that if you were in trouble you should help yourself and not expect others to help you. This he called "rugged individualism". Therefore he did not do a great deal to help those out of work. He didn't believe that the depression would last - "Prosperity is just around the corner" is what he said to businessmen in 1932 when things were just about at their worst. Squalid cardboard campsites were created in cities to live in...called "Hoovervilles". The nick-name of the soup given out by charities for the unemployed was "Hoover stew".
