The New Deal was a series of economic programs and reforms implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression. The New Deal was opposed by both liberal and conservative critics, but they differed in their reasons for opposing it.
Liberal critics of the New Deal argued that it did not go far enough in addressing the root causes of the Depression, particularly the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large corporations. They argued that the New Deal failed to address the fundamental structural problems of the economy and instead relied too heavily on temporary government intervention.
Conservative critics, on the other hand, opposed the New Deal on the grounds that it was an unwarranted expansion of government power that threatened individual liberty and free enterprise. They argued that the New Deal's programs and regulations stifled economic growth and innovation, and that the government should not interfere in the free market.
In summary, liberal critics of the New Deal believed that it was not comprehensive enough in addressing the structural issues of the economy, while conservative critics believed that it was an overreach of government power that threatened the principles of free enterprise and individual liberty
