So.. I just finished this a few days ago..

I'm not really sure how to feel about it. One one hand, I loved the change it brought to the meatpacking industry in regulations. On the other hand, that totally isn't the message Sinclair was trying to bring. On one hand, it shows how crushing the "free" United States truly was at that point. On the other hand, Sinclair probably embellished it greatly.

The whole thing just seemed like a plug for socialism, which, based on all of Sinclair's other novels of the same genre (King Coal and Oil!) seems exactly what he did. King Coal and Oil are The Jungle but mining and drilling instead of meatpacking.

Thoughts on The Jungle?

/lit/, can you think of any literature offhand concerning the role of work in society?

i have something philosophical in mind. or, otherwise, are there any books you know of that deal with productivity and labor?

thank you.
