FDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate.

"Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years,
and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt."

I hate to sound dumb, but even though I read that article I don’t get it.

Can anyone put into simple terms why FDR extended the depression with his policies? I really do want to understand this.

I only understand this point, he raised wages (?) and businesses couldn’t make a profit I guess because of that? Is that correct?
