Publisher's Synopsis
""Our Wasted Resources: The Missing Link In The Temperance Reform"" is a book written by William Hargreaves in 1878. The book is a critical analysis of the temperance movement and the ways in which it has failed to address the root causes of alcoholism. Hargreaves argues that the movement has focused too heavily on prohibition and abstinence, and not enough on addressing the social and economic factors that contribute to excessive drinking. He suggests that the resources of the movement would be better spent on education, job creation, and other measures to improve the lives of those who are most vulnerable to alcoholism. The book is a call to action for the temperance movement to reevaluate its strategies and priorities, and to work towards a more comprehensive approach to addressing the problem of alcoholism in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
