The Square Deal (1904) was the term used by President Theodore Roosevelt and his associates for the domestic policies of his administration, particularly with regard to economic policies, such as antitrust enforcement. The term is a general reference to the concept of a square deal being an agreement that is made fairly between businesses and the consumers and workers.

To ensure market competition, President Roosevelt built into the Square Deal program the concepts that some "bad" trusts had to be curbed, and "good" ones encouraged. He wanted executive agencies to make the decision, not the Courts.
