How did the publication of Upton Sinclairs The Jungle contribute to a change in the relationship between government and business?

The publication of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" led to increased awareness of poor working conditions in the meatpacking industry, which in turn prompted government intervention in the form of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. These legislations marked a shift towards increased government regulation of business practices to protect consumer and worker rights.
