Why Prohibition Is Wrong: Folly, Failures And Fallacies Of Prohibition (1911)

By Charles Augustus Windle

Book Overview

""Why Prohibition Is Wrong: Folly, Failures And Fallacies Of Prohibition"" is a book written by Charles Augustus Windle and published in 1911. The book provides a comprehensive argument against the prohibition of alcohol, which was a hotly debated topic in the United States at the time. Windle argues that prohibition is wrong because it is based on flawed reasoning, it has failed to achieve its intended goals, and it has led to a number of negative consequences. He presents evidence from various sources to support his arguments, including historical examples of failed prohibition efforts, economic data on the impact of prohibition on businesses and government revenue, and social and health statistics on the effects of alcohol consumption. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of alcohol prohibition in the United States and the arguments for and against it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
