Here Upton Sinclair offers us a novel about the Wall Street panic of 1907. He tells of a financial disaster brought on deliberately by powerful capitalists intent upon the ruin of their rivals - fundamentally evil people who live to out-maneuver one another. We are a nation, said Sinclair, fundamentally corrupt - our government, our banks, our industries all seek personal ruin for its own sake...Sinclair tells an engaging tale; if you don't know his work, you'd do well to take in and understand his paranoid vision...
"The Moneychangers" is a classic work that offers a compelling and insightful perspective on the financial world and its moral complexities during the early 20th century.
