Upton Sinclair Jr. (September 20, 1878 – November 25, 1968) was an American writer who wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair’s work was well known and popular in the first half of the 20th century, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943.Exerpt from the book:All my childhood and youth I heard a formula: “Money talks!” I never had any money, so to me the formula meant: “Shut up!”Now the world has moved on, and talking is out of date. It is by means of the printed word that the modem world is controlled. So the formula must be altered: “Money writes!”This book is a study of American literature from the economic point of view. It takes our living 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.It concludes a series, begun ten years ago, including “The Profits of Religion, ” “The Brass Check, ” “The Goose-step, ” “The Goslings, ” and “Mammonart.”Due to copyright restrictions this book is available in the United States only.
