The Goose-step: A Study of American Education by Upton Sinclair
"The Goose-step: A Study of American Education" by Upton Sinclair is a muckraking investigation published in 1923. Sinclair argues that American universities serve plutocratic interests rather than public welfare, controlled through interlocking directorates of bankers and businessmen on boards of trustees. Drawing from interviews with over a thousand people, he exposes how academic freedom is suppressed and faculty members are punished for political dissent. The book reveals a system where education trains
students to uphold capitalist power rather than pursue truth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
