Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, held a generally laissez-faire approach to economics, which prioritized limited government intervention. His administration focused on reducing taxes and government spending, believing this would stimulate economic growth and ultimately benefit all citizens, including the poor. However, critics argue that his policies did not directly address the needs of the impoverished during the Roaring Twenties, as income inequality widened during his presidency. Thus, while he aimed for overall economic prosperity, his effectiveness in directly helping the poor is debated.
