  "Rationality & Welfare: Public Discussion of Poverty and Social Insurance in the United States 1875-1935"
While the businessmen who applauded Hoffman, Sherman, and others of their persuasion wished to retain fundamental traditions, scarcely any, at least of the articulate, thought that existing institutions of welfare were either rational or sufficient.

In the short run, the results of an end of government credit expansion would depend on how the end were brought about, particularly on whether the country were given advance notice and whether the end of credit expansion were accompanied by a balanced Federal budget.
In any case, businessmen probably would adopt a temporary "wait and see" attitude, and thus be hesitant about starting new projects.

 Bush's Regulatory Crackdown on Business Has Harmed the Economy by Yaron Brook and Alex Epstein -- Capitalism Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Businessmen are, in the words of Jack Welch, "hunkering down"; they are investing less money in new technologies, new manufacturing plants, research and development; they are reluctant to enter mergers, to formulate new strategies, *to take risks*--and our economy is suffering as a result.
The result is that honest businessmen have been paralyzed when it comes to steering their companies.
That businessmen are especially "risk-averse" right now is a fairly commonplace observation--but the crucial point is that they are risk-averse *because* of the government crackdown, which has compounded the risk inherent in all investment and management decisions with the severe risk of arbitrary government reprisal.

 Sins of Businessmen, Crimes of Politicians - Mises Institute
Not knowing the actual cause of such calamities, they turn to false and often absurd explanations, such as the doctrine of a general overproduction, and end up blaming increased production and supply, which is the very essence of greater prosperity, as the cause of impoverishment—allegedly we are poor because we are rich.
And that is that the activity of businessmen qua businessmen, that is, as producers of goods and services for sale in the market, is inherently positive.
Far more often than businessmen commit fraud, the government and the politicians commit or are accessories to the commission of such criminal acts as extortion, theft, and unjust imprisonment.
