Money Writes!

"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.
