Using this calculus, it is clear that even criminals are rational characters, responding to incentives and opportunities provided by the 18.th. Amendment and the Volstead Act. The book begins with a broad look at the adaptations of the law’s targets: the wine, beer, and liquor industries. It then turns to specific people (Violators, Line Tip-Toers, Enablers, and Hypocrites), sharing their stories of economic adaptation to bring economic lessons to life. Due to its structure, the book can be read in parts or as a whole and is suitable for short classroom reading assignments or individual pleasure reading. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | prohibition; temperance movement; alcohol industry; wine; chicago; US history; economic history; legal hist | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-25328-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-25328-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
