The technical knowledge accumulated was given away - see the Radar Labs and Los Alamos publications. The war had broken down a number of restrictive practises, both labour and management. The result was a coming together of technology, production methods and better management in a world hungry for products.

That stopped the Depression getting worse, I should think. Almost everything else he did, however, made it last longer - on and on it wrolled, until Hitler and Hirohito arranged that much of the potential male labour force was in the services, so that measured unemployment was indeed down. I'd like to know why it didn't return when the war was over. Any offers? As far as I can see, FDR did one good thing – he managed to stop the spread of banking collapse.

US banks were limited in branch numbers and geographical location - that is why 6000+ failed. The solution was to create a government monopoly. “had run amok in a laissez-faire, deregulated free-for-all”
