Warren Harding- Harding was the president just after the completion of WWII.

While he campaigned for a return to


normalcy following the war, he saw this as economic conservatism. His cabinet caused major corruption, despite his
landslide win in the election. He was very pro-business, and anti-tax and regulations, which caused the gap between
the wealthy and poor to grow under his presidency.
Calvin Coolidge- Calvin Coolidge managed to separate himself from the ideals of Harding, allowing him to be elected.
He believed in economic growth, which helped the time he lead to be very prosperous following the corruption of
Harding. He believed in business, and that that was what America should follow through on.
