Publisher's Synopsis
The New Freedom is a book written by Woodrow Wilson, originally published in 1913. The book is a call to action for the United States to embrace a new era of freedom, one that would unleash the ""generous energies"" of its people. Wilson argues that the country's political and economic systems have become corrupted by the interests of large corporations and the wealthy elite, and that a new approach is needed to restore democracy and opportunity for all.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the problems facing the country. Wilson discusses the need for greater government regulation of business, the importance of breaking up monopolies and trusts, and the need for a more progressive tax system that would ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share. He also argues for greater protection of workers' rights, including the right to unionize and bargain collectively.Throughout the book, Wilson emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and the need to protect the rights of all citizens. He argues that the government should play an active role in promoting the welfare of its citizens, and that it should work to create a more just and equitable society.Overall, The New Freedom is a powerful call to action for Americans to embrace a new era of freedom and democracy. It is a seminal work of political philosophy that continues to influence political discourse in the United States today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
