By Charles Augustus Windle

Book Overview

""Why Prohibition Is Wrong: Folly, Failures And Fallacies Of Prohibition"" is a book written by Charles Augustus Windle in 1911. The book is a critique of the prohibition movement that was gaining momentum in the United States at the time. Windle argues that prohibition is a misguided and ineffective policy that will ultimately lead to more harm than good. He presents a series of arguments against prohibition, including the fact that it is a violation of personal liberty, that it is impossible to enforce, and that it will create a black market for alcohol that will lead to increased crime and corruption. Windle also discusses the social and economic consequences of prohibition, arguing that it will lead to a decline in tax revenue, an increase in unemployment, and a decrease in the quality of life for many Americans. Overall, ""Why Prohibition Is Wrong"" is a thought-provoking and well-researched critique of a controversial policy that continues to be debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
