This is the text of a debate between T. A. Mc Neal, a Kansas newspaper editor and author of
When Kansas Was Young (1922), and Upton Sinclair, the famous novelist and crusading reformer. Sinclair was pro-Socialist, as he ran twice in California on the party’s ticket. T. A., on the other hand, was more conservative—a debate well worth reading!
Over de auteur
Thomas Allen Mc Neal (1853-?) was born on an Ohio farm to a modest upbringing. He began as a newspaper man, co-owning the Medicine Lodge Cresset. Then he moved on to the more successful publication, Kansas Breeze, later editing the paper. He achieved acclaim with his book When Kansas was Young.
Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) is best remembered for The Jungle (1906), his fictionalized exposé of the unsanitary and unfair working conditions that characterized the U.S. meatpacking industry. He won a Pulitzer-Price in 1943. A lifelong progressive, he ran for the governor of California in 1934.
