While serving as an officer during the Spanish-American War, he'd been appalled by the poor quality of the canned meats sold to the War Department and served to his troops in Cuba. During the 1970s, fast-food chains like Today the American beef industry is more centralized and more concentrated than it was when "The Jungle" first appeared.
Today the four largest beef companies control more than 80 percent of the market. "I aimed at the public's heart and by accident hit it in the stomach." Drug companies sold patent medicines containing heroin, morphine and cocaine that promised to cure all sorts of diseases but actually cured none of them. Hundreds of workers stand along a single production line, wielding knives. They praised the virtues of small government, competition and laissez-faire capitalism. In 1906, Upton Sinclair said of his 1904 novel "The Jungle": "I aimed at the public's heart and by accident hit its stomach." The results were far from perfect, but a new template had been created, one that declared the public interest to be more important than the demands of private interests. Hundreds of small companies thrived, and by 1970 the four largest beef firms controlled only 20 percent of the market.The social problems outlined in "The Jungle" had largely been solved. American readers, however, responded in a way that Sinclair had not expected. And the beef trust was gone, relegated to the history books.

Every week, Tyson slaughters 5 million chickens, almost half a million hogs, and a quarter of a million cattle.And the effort to exploit and intimidate poor immigrant workers has resumed.
Foreign critics, such as Winston Churchill, praised the book's critique of unchecked greed in the United States. In recent years, Tyson Foods has led the way in cutting wages, reducing benefits and breaking labor unions. Upton Sinclair used those words to describe the reaction his novel, The Jungle , received upon its initial publication. Once again free-market rhetoric cloaks an absence of free markets, a handful of companies control the leading sectors of the economy, the political system is corrupted by money, and the gulf between rich and poor is widening. Management tactics described in "The Jungle" have become commonplace again: the relentless pressure to speed up production, to minimize the severity of injuries, to get rid of workers who can no longer keep up the pace. At this very moment, some contemporary version of Jurgis Rudkus is illegally crossing the border between Mexico and Arizona with dreams of a better life.The socialism that Upton Sinclair advocated never took hold in the United States. Today roughly 80 percent of the nation's meatpacking workers are Latino. The meatpacking companies did all they could to thwart unions, pitting one ethnic group against another, encouraging rivalries between Irish immigrants and Lithuanians, between Poles and Slovaks, between whites and African Americans. Most of them cannot speak English, and many are illegal immigrants. The meatpacking industry seemed to embody everything that was wrong with American society, operating largely in secret, wielding unchecked power, threatening the health of workers and consumers.
It upends the traditional rags-to-riches success story, portraying a downward spiral.
