The Logic of Prohibition is a book written by Matthew Simpson Hughes in 1915. The book explores the reasoning behind the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, which was a highly controversial issue during the early 20th century. Hughes argues that the prohibition movement was not simply a moral crusade, but rather a logical response to the negative social and economic effects of alcohol consumption. He examines the history of the temperance movement, the economic impact of alcohol production and consumption, and the social problems associated with alcohol abuse, such as crime and poverty. The book also discusses the political and legal aspects of prohibition, including the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, which banned the sale and consumption of alcohol. Overall, The Logic of Prohibition provides a comprehensive analysis of the arguments for and against prohibition, and sheds light on the complex social and political issues surrounding this controversial topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
