Episode: How Big Business Uses Big Government to Rape You (And Why You Love It)
Description: FROM 2016: You've probably heard all about Upton Sinclair's 1906 expose of the turn-of-the-century American meatpacking industry and the Chicago stockyards...but everything you've heard about it is wrong.

Join us for this month's edition of the Film, Literature and the New World Order as we learn not to trust what's on the label of mainline history.
