About this listen

Delve into the powerful argument against the Eighteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution presented by Fabian Franklin in What Prohibition Has Done to America. Enacted in 1920, this Amendment banned the sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages in the United States, a restriction that lasted until 1933. Franklin vehemently argues that this Amendment was not just an affront to the Constitution and the spirit of the Federal system, but also a violation of the fundamental principles of rational governance. Written just two years post the commencement of Prohibition, Franklins predictions about its catastrophic consequences, such as rampant bootlegging and the rise of organized crime, were eerily accurate. This book serves as both an impassioned plea for liberty and a stark warning to Americans about the dangers of relinquishing it.
