Local Option In Norway

"Local Option In Norway" by Thomas M. Wilson provides a detailed examination of the implementation and effects of local option laws in Norway, particularly focusing on the regulation of ardent spirits. The book delves into the historical context of the temperance movement in Norway, exploring the societal factors that led to the adoption of local option as a means of controlling alcohol consumption.

A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the Society for Retailing Ardent Spirits in Bergen, offering an in-depth account of its establishment, operational mechanics, and impact on the local community. Wilson analyzes the effectiveness of this system, discussing its successes and challenges in the broader context of Norwegian social and political life. This study offers valuable insights into the complexities of alcohol regulation and its socio-economic consequences, making it a relevant resource for researchers and policymakers interested in the history and theory of social control.
