Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction book examines the enduring impact of Prohibition in the US. The author takes a balanced approach, weighing claims by prohibitionists against countervailing arguments. The author begins by noting how the push to prohibit alcohol gained steam in the early 20th century, culminating in the ratification of the 18th Amendment in 1919. Chapter by chapter, the text investigates various claims regarding Prohibition's effects on drunkenness, poverty, crime, employment, corruption and other areas, drawing on data from the period. It challenges the notion that Prohibition improved these elements of society. The book also examines the role of Canada's experience with Prohibition as a parallel case study. Considering the arguments of both supporters and opponents of Prohibition, this book aims to help readers understand the complex history of the era.
