New Freedom

New Freedom

by Thomas Woodrow Wilson

Published in 1913, *New Freedom* is a collection of speeches and essays by Woodrow Wilson, then President of the United States. Wilson, a leading figure in the Progressive Era, advocates for a new vision of American democracy, one that would address the social and economic ills of the time. He argues for a more active role for government in regulating business and protecting the rights of ordinary citizens. Wilson's focus is on restoring what he sees as a decline in American political and social morality, advocating for individual freedom and national self-respect alongside an ethical and responsible government. He tackles themes such as the dangers of unchecked corporate power, the need for social justice, and the importance of individual responsibility in a vibrant democracy.
