industrial society and government
corruption

made this popular
Example: “The Jungle,” Upton Sinclair
“[T]he meat would be shoveled into carts,
and the man who did the shoveling would
not trouble to lift out a rat even when he
saw one-- there were things that went into
the sausage in comparison with which a
poisoned rat was a tidbit. There was no
place for the men to wash their hands
before they ate their dinner, and so they
made a practice of washing them in the
water that was ladled into the sausage.”
