Beskrivelse af The Moneychangers
The Moneychangers is a novel written by Upton Sinclair, originally published in 1908. The story revolves around the financial industry and the corruption within it, following the lives of several characters including a bank president, a speculator, and a socialist reformer. The novel explores themes of greed, manipulation, and the power dynamics of the banking world. The plot is set in the early 20th century, during a time of economic growth and industrialization in the United States. The Moneychangers is a critique of the capitalist system and the way in which it perpetuates inequality and exploitation. The novel is a classic example of the muckraking genre, which sought to expose social and political injustices through literature. The Moneychangers is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the financial world and its impact on society.Then he went on to the plate-mill, where giant hammers resounded, and steel plates of several inches' thickness were chopped and sliced like pieces of cheese. Here the spectator stared about him in bewilderment and clung to his guide for safety; huge travelling cranes groaned overhead, and infernal engines made deafening clatter upon every side. It was a source of never ending wonder that men should be able to work in such confusion, with no sense of danger and no consciousness of all the uproar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
