Robert A. Caro Quote

The trouble with the nation’s economy, he declared, was simply Prohibition, which makes it possible for large-scale dealers in illicit liquor to amass tremendous amounts of currency; the present economic crisis, he explained, was due to the withdrawal of billions of dollars from the channels of legitimate trade by these bootleggers.
