How did Republicans want to fix the Great Depression?

Republicans during the Great Depression primarily advocated for a return to laissez-faire economic policies, emphasizing limited government intervention and encouraging private enterprise to drive recovery. They supported measures like tax cuts and reduced government spending to stimulate the economy. Additionally, President Herbert Hoover promoted voluntary cooperation between businesses and government to maintain stability and prevent further economic decline. However, these approaches were often criticized for being inadequate in addressing the scale of the crisis.
