Abstract
Transforming the US economy from producing consumer packaged goods (CPGs; e.g., food, beverages, cosmetics, and cleaning products), clothing, shoes, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., to manufacturing B-17 heavy bombers, tanks, warships, munitions, etc., was a gigantic undertaking. This chapter evaluates: the efforts of President Roosevelt, through a series of his Executive Orders, and his administration to create of a number of major agencies and commissions to remake the entire US economy; and to convince Americans on the home front to accept rationing, censorship, wage and rent and price controls, etc. This was, clearly, a daunting task never undertaken in the history of the United States on such a massive scale.
