Excerpt from The Yale Review, Vol. 15: A Quarterly Journal for the Scientific Discussion of Economic, Political, and Social Questions, May, 1906, to February, 1907Literature and politics are, of course, distinct things. But books are produced to sell, and when a stream of reading matter relating to a subject issues from our printing presses, we can be sure either that the subject is one in which people are already interested, or that the literature itself is expected by the publishers to create an interest. In either case it is significant of the trend of public thought, and this is generally the precursor of that pub lic opinion which ultimately crystallizes in votes and in laws. Thus the publishers of The Jungle, a recent socialistic novel, advertise it as the Uncle Tom's Cabin of Wage Slavery. There is a significance in this phrase, because, if people are to be really stirred up on the subject of what the socialists call capi talism as they were on the subject of slavery, the history of emancipation is full of instruction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
