Do you think the American people were justified in blaming Herbert Hoover for the Great Depression?

While Hoover ignored pleas of help from many people believing that the government should not intervine on their personal lives, much of it had to do with corrupt banking and overproduction from farms. Hoover could have regulated the banks better but the depression is not entirely his fault.
