The Committee of Fifty
-
This paper examines the ideas and policy recommendations of an early 20th century, upper-class research organization called the Committee of Fifty to Investigate the Liquor Problem. The paper discusses the Committee of Fifty's ideas about prohibition (which it opposed), about the working class (which it sought to control), about social order (which was its primary concern), and about U.S. alcohol control policy (which it was the first to systematically outline)
