A review by the writer Jack London called it "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery." These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. The book depicts working-class poverty, lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness among many workers. However, most readers were more concerned with several passages exposing health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meat-packing industry during the early 20th century, which greatly contributed to a public outcry that led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act.
