About this listen

Professor Thatch explores how America's Prohibition era transformed organized crime from local street gangs into sophisticated criminal empires. The episode examines the rise of legendary figures like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, who built massive bootlegging operations worth billions in today's currency. Through detailed analysis of the Eighteenth Amendment's unintended consequences, listeners discover how government attempts to legislate morality instead created the most lucrative criminal opportunities in history. The episode reveals the systematic corruption of law enforcement and government officials, the birth of speakeasy culture, and the lasting impact of Prohibition-era innovations on modern organized crime.
