The Sinclair, Upton 1878-1968 creator text utu 2021 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Industrial Republic: A Study of the America of Ten Years Hence" by Upton Sinclair is a sociopolitical study written in the early 20th century. The book projects an examination of American society and institutions through an evolutionary lens, seeking to predict the state of the nation a decade into the future, specifically discussing the emerging concept of an Industrial Republic. Sinclair explores the changing dynamics of capitalism and class struggles, aiming to articulate the inevitable transition towards a more equitable economic system. The opening of the text lays the foundation for Sinclair's inquiry by contrasting the historical ignorance exhibited during the Civil War with the present state's gradual drift toward another crisis driven by industrial and economic inequalities. He outlines the persistence of social struggles stemming from wealth concentration and the exploitation of labor, identifying a crucial need for a transformation in how wealth is produced and distributed. Sinclair introduces the idea that this new social order, termed the Industrial Republic, will arise from the conflicts and forces currently shaping American society, ultimately suggesting that the system is on the brink of a significant upheaval.
