"Mammonart: An Essay in Economic Interpretation" by Upton Sinclair is a critical look at how money and power affect art. The essay starts with a fictional character named Ogi, an early artist whose work marks the change from art as survival to art as a reflection of society. Ogi's story shows how art can inspire strong feelings and how it quickly gets connected to power. Sinclair's work examines the artist's position in society and how art can be used to promote the interests of those in charge instead of benefiting everyone.
