About this book

Drawn from the speeches Woodrow Wilson gave during his 1912 campaign for the presidency, this book lays out the program that carried him into the White House. Wilson argues that concentrated economic power had crowded out the ordinary citizen, and that the task of the age was to restore competition, opportunity, and genuine self-government to the American people. He writes plainly about monopoly, the tariff, and the danger of a government tied to big business, calling for a renewal of the country's founding promise. Whatever one makes of his record, the volume is a clear statement of Progressive Era political thought at its most hopeful. This free PDF and EPUB edition collects Wilson's case for reform in his own words.
