Omschrijving

Money Writes is a novel written by Upton Sinclair, an American author and social activist. The book is set in the early 20th century and tells the story of a young man named Arthur Stacy who is determined to make a fortune in the stock market. Arthur is a hardworking and ambitious young man who comes from a poor background. He is obsessed with the idea of making money and becoming rich, and he believes that the stock market is the key to his success. He starts working as a stockbroker's clerk and quickly learns the ins and outs of the industry. As Arthur climbs the ranks of the stock market, he becomes more and more ruthless in his pursuit of wealth. He makes shady deals, lies to his clients, and manipulates the market to his advantage. However, his success comes at a cost. He becomes estranged from his family and friends, and his moral compass begins to falter. The novel explores themes of greed, corruption, and the corrupting influence of money. It also offers a critique of the capitalist system and the way it can be exploited by those in power. Overall, Money Writes is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the world of finance and the dark side of the American Dream.1927. Sinclair, American novelist, essayist, playwright, and short story writer, whose works reflected his socialistic views. Among his most famous books is The Jungle, which launched a government investigation of the meatpacking plants of Chicago, and changed the food laws of America. Sinclair wrote in a note at the beginning of the book: 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.
