THE PROFITS An Essay in Economic By UPTON SINCLAIR T Published by the Author, Pasadena, California Copyright. 1918. by UPTON SINCLAIR OFFERTORY This book is a study of Supernaturalism from a new point of view-as a Source of Income and a Shield to Privilege. I have searched the libraries through, and no one has done it before. If you read it, you will see that it needed to be done. It has meant twentyfive years of thought and a year of investigation. It contains the facts. I publish the book myself, so that it may be available at the lowest possible price. I am giving my time and energy, in return for one thing which you may give me the joy of speaking a true word and getting it heard. The present volume is the first of a series, which will do for Education, Journalism and Literature what has here been done for the Church: the four volumes making a work of revolutionary criticism, an Economic Interpretation of Culture under the general title of "The Dead Hand." |
