The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 prohibited the sale of misbranded or adulterated food and drugs in interstate commerce and laid a foundation for the nation's first consumer protection agency, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It gave the government broad powers to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs to abolish the "patent" drug trade.

Sinclair's primary purpose in describing the meat industry and its working conditions was to advance socialism in the United States. However, most readers were more concerned with several passages exposing health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, which greatly contributed to a public outcry that led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act. The book depicts working-class poverty, lack of social support, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."]]> 2022-02-21 19:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/johncarter11/yic1p5e2fz5q66wa/wish/2059275823 Ida Tarbell journalism samuel_marx https://padlet.com/johncarter11/yic1p5e2fz5q66wa/wish/2059278452 Ida Minerva Tarbell (November 5, 1857–January 6, 1944) was a critic of corporate power and muckraking journalist.

The Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids.]]> 2022-02-21 19:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/johncarter11/yic1p5e2fz5q66wa/wish/2059286295 The Clayton Act alexandriawitt https://padlet.com/johncarter11/yic1p5e2fz5q66wa/wish/2059289670 The newly created Federal Trade Commission enforced The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 and prevented unfair methods of competition.

This original organization had very little power and wasn't even able to remove dangerous products from the market or go against blatant misbranding.
