   He said the econ was fundamentally strong. The the Fed raised interest rates. Then the rest is history.

   President Hoover actually did very little during the time. He believed eventually the economy would eventually fix itself. The great depression never started in America. It was already bad throughout the world. However, back to your question. If you really want a human toll you’d have to include WWII because the great depression was the driving force fascistshe facisits.
