Abstract
Dr. Halevi, in opening the discussion, said that Professor Donnison’s paper dealt with the important inter-relationship between economic institutions through which policies have to be implemented arid the political realities which determine the policy goals of each country. The main object of Donnison’s paper was to convince us that housing policy is extremely complex and that it cannot be fully understood without regard to all or most of the social science disciplines. In no other paper presented to the Conference were there so many provocative statements per page and Dr. Halevi had some difficulty in deciding which of the many topics raised to choose for discussion — a difficulty increased by a disconcerting habit Professor Donnison had of slipping in a qualifying statement just as one was poised to pounce on a generalization.
