Ep 687 โ€“ The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair

Sometimes you read a book that you heard about in high school, something that was taught as a sort of historical document that helped to explain why things are the way they are today. But sometimes it turns out that the book is actually about a whole lot of other stuff too! Including lots of (apparently) live debates about politics and food safety! Itโ€™s a tough book to read right now, but itโ€™s an important time to remember where weโ€™ve been.
