The Menace of Prohibition is a book written by Lulu Wightman in 1916. The book discusses the negative impact of prohibition on the economy and society. Wightman argues that prohibition has led to an increase in crime, corruption, and the spread of illegal alcohol. She also argues that prohibition has hurt the economy by eliminating jobs and reducing tax revenue. The book provides a historical overview of prohibition and its impact on society, including the rise of organized crime and the failure of prohibition to achieve its intended goals. Wightman's arguments against prohibition were controversial at the time, as many Americans believed that alcohol was a major social problem that needed to be eliminated. However, her book was influential in shaping public opinion on prohibition and contributed to the eventual repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
