The goal of both Upton Sinclair in the early 1900 and Ralph Nader in 1960 was to expose societal problems. Their exposes were made public through writing fictional novels.

Upton Sinclair, exposed the inhuman condition of a meat packing industry through his novel The Jungle. His work led to the passage of legislation requiring Federal inspection of meat. These passages were 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.

Ralph Nader published his book Unsafe at Any Speed. It was a critique of the safety record of American automobile manufacturers, particularly the first-generation Chevrolet Corvair.

Their works had significant influence on social, political, and economic reforms.
