The Jungle - Upton Sinclair - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book The Jungle:

How Chicago created socialists.

My favorite Upton Sinclair quote from the book:

"There is one kind of prison where the man is behind bars, and everything that he desires is outside; and there is another kind where the things are behind the bars and the man is outside."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

What are our responsibilities to our fellow man?

Is Socialism really the answer to poverty?

My review of The Jungle:

Everyone deserves a fair wage and safe working conditions.

Child labor is wrong.

It took me about a month before I could eat meat again.
