How did President Wilson increase his control over the US economy during world world war 1?

During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson increased his control over the U.S. economy by establishing several agencies, such as the War Industries Board (WIB) and the Food Administration, to regulate production and distribution of goods. The WIB coordinated industrial efforts to ensure efficient production of war materials, while the Food Administration encouraged conservation and increased agricultural output. Wilson also implemented the Lever Food and Fuel Control Acts, granting the government authority to manage resources essential for the war effort. These measures centralized economic decision-making and prioritized wartime needs over peacetime economic practices.
