Wilson wanted to reform the economy. He focused on three major areas:

Issue

What was wrong

Wilson’s Solution

Tariffs

High tariffs protected big businesses and hurt consumers.

Underwood Tariff Act (1913) lowered tariffs to make prices fair.

Banks

The banking system was unstable; money wasn’t evenly available.

Federal Reserve Act (1913) created Federal Reserve System to regulate banks and stabilize the economy.

Trusts (Monopolies)

Large corporations controlled entire markets.

Clayton Antitrust Act (1914) and FTC to break monopolies and ensure fair competition.

His goal: Economic fairness & reduce power of the wealthy elite.


What Does "Privilege" Mean?

Privilege = unearned advantages that some people have simply because of the group they belong to.

You don’t ask for privilege — it’s built into society.

Examples:

  • Being wealthy gives access to better schools → privilege

  • Being part of the dominant culture → privilege

  • Being male in certain societies → privilege


Where Does Privilege Come From?

Privilege comes from historical systems of power:

  • Government policies

  • Economic systems

  • Cultural norms

  • Laws and traditions

These systems have favored certain groups over others for generations.


Privilege as a Barrier (The "Wall")

Think of privilege like a wall in society.

The Wall Separates:

One Side (Has Privilege)

Other Side (Lacks Privilege)

More opportunities

Fewer opportunities

Access to education, jobs, wealth, respect

Must work harder for the same result

Treated as the default or normal

Treated as “other” or “less”

What the Wall Is Separating You From:

  • Resources (money, education, jobs)

  • Safety

  • Social acceptance

  • Influence / voice

  • Fair treatment

If you have privilege, the wall might be invisible to you — it feels normal.
If you lack privilege, you feel the wall every day.


So… Why Discuss It?

Not to blame anyone —
but to recognize the difference so society can be fairer.

Once you see the wall,
you can help build ladders, bridges, or start removing bricks.
