À propos de cet audio

Upton Sinclair, the greatest of the muckraking journalists, author of "The Jungle" and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, decided to run for Governor of California in 1934. It was the depths of the Great Depression in America and around the world. He changed his party registration to Democratic, ran for, and won the nomination. His candidacy garnered over 900,00 votes in the general election—38% of all votes cast.

In this book, Sinclair lays out step by step what he proposes to do to lift the working men and women of California out of the poverty and unemployment which had gripped the state, the nation, and the world. He saw that there was great wealth in California, particularly in natural resources, un-worked farmland, and empty factories. There were millions of workers desperate for the opportunity to put in a good day's work for a good day's pay. Here is his plan for putting these things together for a fair and equitable system for generating wealth.

This short book was Sinclair's main piece of campaign material which he used to try to reach all voters in California; to give them hope and give them a direction in which they could move to climb out of their current, persistent rut.

The book is narrated by Peter Lerman. Peter has narrated over 100 books to date and was awarded a prestigious Earphones award by Audiofile Magazine in 2021. He has previously recorded six other titles—fiction and nonfiction—by Upton Sinclair.
