Opposing institutions meeting different social demands—‘one respectable and moral, exemplifying the ideal, the other sub rosa and nonrespectable filling the practical need’—produced a result that was ‘as inevitable as the reaction of a man sitting on a hot stove’ (p. 209). Arnold drew parallels between the antitrust laws and the Prohibition era:

Under the enforcement campaign, powerful organizations to distribute liquor grew up in self-protection, with disciplines like those of an army in war. No bartenders’ union ever had the strength and morale of these courageous men who supplied whisky to a thirsty populace in that interesting era when good church people were justifying themselves in putting poison in liquor to prove to the sinful the eternal lesson that the wages of sin is death.
