Andrew Mellon
Andrew Mellon was an influential American banker, industrialist, and politician who served as the Secretary of the Treasury from 1921 to 1932 under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. He played a significant role in shaping U.S. economic policy during the Roaring Twenties and the onset of the Great Depression. Mellon was a proponent of pro-business policies and believed in the principles of fiscal conservatism, advocating for lower taxes and less government regulation. However, his policies faced criticism, especially in light of the economic downturn that followed, with many blaming him for contributing to the financial collapse. His legacy is complex, as he is remembered both for his contributions to economic growth and for the challenges that arose during his tenure.
