Acerca de este título

In 1925, the greatest muckraking journalist and advocate for the working man, Upton Sinclair, believed that the cause in which he believed needed to be clearly and concisely explained - in plain English - for the benefit of the American worker.

Sinclair believed that there were many specific ways that the capitalist system in America had been hijacked by the extremely wealthy trusts, monopolies, and banks. This was described as the Gilded Age - the Great Gatsby era - where the ultrarich controlled all the levers of power. The inequality of the distribution of wealth culminated in the crash of 1929 and years of economic depression.

He contended that the elected government was run by the financial supporters of the political parties; that big business, with the support of the courts and legislatures and media at all levels, was exploiting and mistreating workers, and focusing their efforts every day to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

One hundred years later, we see that some of his analysis was right on target, and the inequality persists now as it did in the Gilded Age. Some of his analysis was just plain wrong or overly idealistic.

The call for radical change is well-reasoned and clearly explained. The listener can explore and examine these ideas and judge their worth for themselves.

This audiobook is narrated by Peter Lerman, an AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator who specializes in nonfiction. He has over 100 books currently listed on Audible.
