Hoover's approach in solving the problems of the great depression was ultimately

Ineffective. Hoover was “limited government” Republican conservative. He believed that the Federal Government involvement would place a burden on the US Treasury and harm capitalism. He believed individual assistance should be handled at the local level. Unfortunately many Americans were at the mercy of whatever their particular locality could provide.

Hoover vetoed many of the bills that could have provided direct assistance and believed firmly that Federal assistance was not the path out of the Depression.
