McNeal-Sinclair Debate on Socialism (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This is the text of a debate between T. A. McNeal, 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!
