The New Freedom

<p>In 1913 Woodrow Wilson was just beginning his time as president of the United States.  America's first 'professor'-president Wilson intended to turn his philosophies into policies.  As such Wilson's two terms in office would mark a turning point for better or for worse in American history.  And what were those philosophies? In speeches throughout his election campaign he boldly spelled out his beliefs. "The New Freedom" is a collection of those speeches edited at the time only to be more suited for reading in a book rather than heard by the ears.  These are the words that persuaded millions of Americans to cast their votes for Wilson and his 'progressive' ideas.  In this book Wilson's attitudes towards monopolies tariffs and the State itself are brought forth almost as they were first presented to ordinary citizens on the campaign trail.</p>
