The 30th President of the United States, who served from 1923 to 1929, assumed office following the death of Warren G. Harding. His presidency is generally associated with a conservative approach to governance and a focus on promoting economic prosperity through limited government intervention. He believed in fiscal conservatism and sought to reduce the national debt and lower taxes. His policies reflected a belief in laissez-faire economics, which minimized government regulation of business.
His time in office coincides with the Roaring Twenties, a period characterized by economic expansion, consumerism, and cultural change. His policies are often credited with contributing to the economic boom of the era, although some historians argue that they also exacerbated income inequality and contributed to the conditions that led to the Great Depression. His stance on issues such as immigration and farm relief reflected the prevailing sentiments of the time, though not without controversy. His administration also navigated foreign policy challenges, including war debt repayment and disarmament efforts.
