The Gothenburg And Bergen Public-house Systems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781179334561)

"The Gothenburg and Bergen Public-House Systems" by James Whyte explores the innovative approaches to alcohol control implemented in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Bergen, Norway, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This study examines the structure and impact of these systems, which aimed to mitigate the social ills associated with excessive alcohol consumption by placing the control of public houses under public management. Whyte delves into the historical context, detailing the motivations behind these reforms and the mechanisms through which they operated.

The book offers valuable insights into the complexities of social reform, highlighting the challenges and successes of these pioneering efforts to regulate alcohol sales and consumption. It is an essential resource for historians, sociologists, and policymakers interested in the history of temperance movements and alternative models for addressing alcohol-related problems.
