The Housing Famine, How To End It: A Triangular Debate (1920) is a book written by John Joseph Murphy that discusses the housing crisis in the United States during the early 20th century. The book is presented as a debate between three prominent figures in the housing industry: a housing reformer, a real estate developer, and a banker. The book explores the causes of the housing crisis, including the lack of affordable housing options, the rise in urbanization, and the effects of World War I. Each of the three debaters offers their own solutions to the crisis, ranging from government intervention to market-based solutions. Throughout the book, Murphy provides historical context and statistical data to support each argument. He also offers his own analysis of the debate and suggests potential paths forward for addressing the housing crisis.Overall, The Housing Famine, How To End It: A Triangular Debate (1920) is a valuable resource for understanding the history of housing in the United States and the ongoing challenges facing the industry today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
