| Summary |
"A Square Deal" by Theodore Roosevelt is a compilation of speeches and writings focused on social, economic, and political issues, likely written in the early 20th century. The book reflects Roosevelt's perspectives on the responsibilities of citizenship, the dignity of labor, and the importance of fairness and equity in society. It is rooted in his belief in the average citizen's capability to contribute positively to democracy and the nation at large. The opening of "A Square Deal" establishes Roosevelt's conviction that the strength of the Republic hinges on individual character and civic duty. He asserts that citizenship involves fulfilling everyday responsibilities, from being a reliable husband and father to actively participating in community and state affairs. Emphasizing virtues over mere material success, he outlines how true success is achieved through hard work and moral integrity, suggesting that a collective rise in civic standards will ensure the nation's progress. Roosevelt's impassioned call for a "square deal" reinforces his commitment to treating every individual fairly, regardless of wealth or class, while lifting society through shared values and mutual respect.
