New York: Vanguard Press, 1927.. Second impression. Pp.315, illustrated endpapers. Red cloth, black title to front and spine, a few bleached spots. G+."The Profits of Religion: An Essay in Economic Interpretation is a nonfiction book, first published in 1917, by the American novelist and 'muck-raking' journalist Upton Sinclair. It is a snapshot of the religious movements in the U.S. before its entry into World War I. The book is the first of the �Dead Hand� series: six books Sinclair wrote on American institutions....The term �Dead Hand� ironically refers to Adam Smith�s concept that allowing an "invisible hand" of individual self-interest to shape economic relations provides the best result for society as a whole. In this book, Sinclair attacks institutionalized religion as a �source of income to parasites, and the natural ally of every form of oppression and exploitation.�." (wiki)
