How Radical Was the New Deal?

I agree with Carl Degler's judgment and views of the New Deal during the Great Depression. He thought that the New Deal was "a revolutionary response to a revolutionary situation." I think that this best reflects how Roosevelt handled the situation at hand. He never found a means short of war to help the nation recover, he simply utilized the stubborn economic crisis to enact sweeping reforms. This in my opinion is how radical the New Deal was. It may have had some socialistic policies, but i mostly think that Roosevelt was just trying to make some reforms to the country and it was the perfect time to do so. He tried to stop the economy crisis, he wasn't that successful but he did help to make our nation a better place in the long run. He had no intentions of making the U.S a socialistic country, he just tried as best as he could to reform problems, please the people, make jobs etc. So in my opinion the New Deal wasn't that radical, it was the right thing to do in a time of crisis
