Laisezz-Faire, which means "hands off." If the economy was bad, .
though, he believed in an extended role of government. This simply .
meant that the government should take part in the economy and try to .
make it better. The New Deal was a very active government plan because .
it had the government working directly to make jobs and fix the .
economy. Mill died in 1873 and would never had a chance to talk to .

leading American economists, I suppose I must have read different .
articles by fifteen different experts."(Schlesinger, Pg.650) This .
writing indirectly steered Roosevelt towards a plan which expanded the .
role of government. Mill gave Franklin D. Roosevelt the basis of the .
plan, but it needed to be elaborated on. John Maynard Keynes was the .

economists of the 20th century. For many years he was an active voice .
