Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The rich people not only had all the money, they had all the chance to get more; they had all the knowledge and the power, and so the poor man was down, and he had to stay down.' -Upton Sinclair, The Jungle (1906) Money Writes! (1927) by Upton Sinclair is one in a series of six books the author wrote analyzing American institutions from a socialist perspective. As the author himself observed, 'It is a study of American literature from the economic point of view. It takes our living [in 1927] writers, and turns their pockets inside out, asking, 'Where did you get it ' and 'What did you do for it ' It is not a polite book, but it is an honest book, and it is needed.' Other books in this muckraking Dead-Hand collection, include: The Profits of Religion (religion, 1917), Mammonart (art, 1925), The Brass Check (journalism, 1919), The Goose-Step (higher education, 1923), and The Goslings (education, 1924), all available from Cosimo Classics.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Money Writes!' is a provocative and incisive critique of the American literary establishment by the renowned muckraker Upton Sinclair. In this scathing examination, Sinclair explores the profound and often corrosive influence of capital and economic interests on the creative process and the publishing industry during the early 20th century. He argues that the pursuit of profit dictates the themes, perspectives, and even the survival of authors, effectively turning literature into a tool for the ruling class.Sinclair analyzes the works and careers of his contemporaries, revealing how the financial structures of the Gilded Age and the Roaring Twenties shaped the narratives presented to the public. Through a series of sharp essays and anecdotes, he exposes the pressure on writers to conform to conservative social norms and the suppression of radical or socialist ideas that might threaten the status quo. 'Money Writes!' serves as both a historical document of the tensions between art and commerce and a timeless warning about the necessity of intellectual independence. It remains a vital read for those interested in the sociology of literature, political theory, and the ongoing struggle for creative freedom in a commercialized world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
