Schools still assign Upton Sinclair? I can tell you for certain that mine did not, likely because they were busy suppressing any mentions of socialism.
Hey why do they call it an "ecomomics" class anyway, shouldn't they just call it capitalism if that's the only thing they teach?
We were required to read Ayn Rand.
yeah it's wild how many schools skip over Sinclair! The Jungle literally led to the creation of the FDA because people were horrified by the meat industry. Schools that only teach "economics" without covering labor history are missing half the story. My high school tried that too - all Adam Smith, no context about why regulations exist in the frist place.
at my high school they made us read fucking ayn rand
