How were FDR's economic policies as Governor of New York contradictory?

Question

I have read in a number of Roosevelt's biographies that as Governor of New York, Roosevelt was not so aware of how economics works. He recognized that radical change was needed to respond to the Great Depression, but did not know what changes were needed. How were the reforms that FDR proposed as Governor of New York indicative of how he was "trying out" policies? I read that his policies contradicted each other, but which reforms specifically were contradictory and why?

Answer 1

I will admit I am not an authority on the topic, but I do remember reading somewhere when FDR was Governor of New York, he advocated for fiscal restraint and restricting the role of government, which was surprisingly in stark contrast to what he did as President.
