Ending a prohibition does not necessarily dismantle the administrative capacity and regulatory ambitions developed around it.
Use statute-specific sources for exact legal transitions; the book’s compressed narrative is not a complete account of federal and state jurisdiction.
Connect legal reopening to the Academy’s distinct questions of firm survival, stock, capital, licensing, and reconstruction.
Researcher synthesis grounded in attributed McGirr passages; partial-source review.
Idea
Ending a prohibition does not necessarily dismantle the administrative capacity and regulatory ambitions developed around it.
Why it matters
Connect legal reopening to the Academy’s distinct questions of firm survival, stock, capital, licensing, and reconstruction.
Source reasoning
McGirr describes debates over postrepeal control, federal initiatives, systematic state liquor regulation, and continuing crime-control expansion. In her interpretation, the end of the national alcohol ban changed the purposes and forms of government intervention.
Boundary
Use statute-specific sources for exact legal transitions; the book’s compressed narrative is not a complete account of federal and state jurisdiction.
