人教版高中历史必修2罗斯福新政教案
【教学参考】对“新政”作用的评价史学界对“新政”作用的评价是仁者见仁、智者见智，但基本上有三种观点，即“功大于过论”、“过大于功论”和“功过参半论”。持“功大于过论”者认为“新政”在美国历史上基本上是一种进步现象，首先，“新政”挽救了危机，使美国人民摆脱了危机的困苦局面；其次，在缺少足够的宏观经济政策知识的时代，罗斯福所做的努力确实是开创性的；再次，罗斯福“新政”开启了美国以后历届政府实施国家干预政策的大门，成为缓解自由主义经济制度之弊病的一剂良方，并在实质上加强了美国联邦政府的权威；最后，在30年代资本主义世界经济危机的背景下，同日本、德国为转嫁危机而发动战争的策略相比，“新政”无疑代表了一种进步、民主的解救危机方式。持“过大于功论”者认为“新政”未能使美国走出萧条、步入繁荣。
