which of these terms best describes long’s proposal?
dropdown with options: radical, conservative, capitalist

Explanation:

Huey Long's proposal sets strict limits on family wealth (capping at ~$5 million and minimum at $5,000), which is a significant departure from traditional capitalist or conservative approaches to wealth (conservative would preserve existing systems, capitalist emphasizes private ownership with less restriction). A radical proposal seeks drastic change, and this wealth redistribution plan is a radical departure from standard economic norms of the time. Conservative policies aim to maintain the status quo, and capitalist policies emphasize free - market private wealth accumulation, so this doesn't fit those.

Answer:

A. radical
