The Upton Sinclair Library opens the pages of a writer who went where respectable society would not look. Here are the novels, pamphlets, and fierce moral inquiries of Upton Sinclair, read in full: stories of labor and hunger, wealth and corruption, hope and revolt. Each episode gives voice to the books that dragged hidden machinery into daylight and asked what kind of civilization we mean to build.Public domain

    In which the necessity and supremacy of human reason over inherited dogma is carefully examined, illustrating how even the most sacred teachings must withstand the scrutiny of rational inquiry to be accepted, lest mankind perish in intellectual folly. And in this light, the evolution of morality is explored, tracing its roots from primitive instincts to the cooperative and social behaviours that underpin human progress, revealing the struggle between destructive competition and the higher ethical aspirations born of solidarity.
