Prohibition Debate Highlights Economic Claims From Yale Professor
Yale economist Professor Fisher argues prohibition reduces alcohol flow to under 16 percent of pre prohibition levels and saves about 6 million dollars annually plus jail and poorhouse costs. He says enforcing prohibition costs a million yearly and beer interests push ads while stock sales promise profits from beer. He cites public mood shifting against liquor and references Britain’s strike outlook and Canadian fishing and grain yields for context.
