The Housing Famine, How to End It: A Triangular Debate Between John J. Murphy, Edith Elmer Wood, Frederick L. Ackerman (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Housing Famine, How to End It: A Triangular Debate Between John J. Murphy, Edith Elmer Wood, Frederick L. Ackerman

As for the method of presentation which is here employed, the written debate, it should be obvious that it has a great advantage for the general public over spoken debate or individual books written upon specific aspects of the subject. The participants in the debate have been at all times aware of the attitude taken by their opponents, and have therefore been in a better position to reply than where only one side of the question is known. The person who wishes seriously to study the problem is enabled by this method to refer at any time to the objections urged whenever he is not prepared to accept the proposition as formulated. It should be possible, therefore, for any intelligent reader to determine from a perusal of the arguments contained herein which solution of this great problem he wishes to accept.
