Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the destruction of the California wine industry, the brewing industry, and the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Californians due to the implementation of prohibition. The author argues that prohibition led to an increase in illegal activity and abuse of drugs, a decrease in tax revenue and the contempt of the law. The book concludes that the destructive effects of prohibition provide a cautionary tale for those who seek to implement similar laws in the future.
