Passing of the bootlegger era and its crime
A call for analysis of the bootlegger figure as a product of prohibition. The piece traces bootlegging from petty tax evasion to a national industry that funded gangsters, graft, and political power, noting how prohibition’s repeal could disrupt these networks. It argues that the racketeer will adapt but that unified national measures and federal action can restore order and curb violence.
