Description

Mammonart: An essay in economic interpretation is a groundbreaking book by Upton Sinclair that explores the influence of money and capitalism on art and culture. Published in 1925, this classic work delves into the ways in which art has been commodified and manipulated by the economic forces of the time. Sinclair argues that instead of being a pure expression of human creativity and emotion, art has become a tool for wealth and power.

In Mammonart, Sinclair examines various art forms, from literature and painting to architecture and advertising, and reveals how they have been controlled by capitalist interests. He exposes the ways in which artists have been manipulated and exploited by the art industry, and how their works have been reduced to mere commodities, devoid of genuine artistic value.

This thought-provoking essay offers a unique perspective on the intersection of economics and art, challenging the reader to question the true purpose and meaning of art in a capitalist society. Sinclair's insightful analysis and powerful arguments make Mammonart a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between art, money, and society.
