New Freedom
'New Freedom' Summary
*New Freedom* is a landmark work of political philosophy that reflects the Progressive Era's spirit. Woodrow Wilson, a prominent figure of this era, outlines his vision for a revitalized American democracy. He criticizes the limitations of traditional laissez-faire economics and advocates for a more proactive government role in regulating business and protecting citizens' rights. Wilson's primary concern is the perceived decline in America's moral and political integrity, calling for individual freedom and national self-respect. He emphasizes the need for ethical and responsible government, advocating for social and economic justice to counter the excesses of unchecked corporate power. *New Freedom* delves into the challenges of industrialization and the evolving relationship between individuals, government, and the economy. While not a blueprint for specific policies, the book offers a powerful argument for a new approach to governance, one that prioritizes ethical considerations and strives for a more equitable and just society.Book Details
