Why do we love mobsters so much? The glamorization of the mob started with Prohibition. In the early years of the twentieth century, mobsters were just small-time operators. Then came the Volstead Act, which outlawed alcohol. “One of the side effects was to solidify organized crime and create a real, international organization out of what was, in essence, small criminal groups. Even when Prohibition was repealed and the services of the bootleggers were no longer required, that initial positive image stuck. Books like Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather” #mobhistory #thebosses #tgif 🫶🏻🍸🍰🍽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjbDEqlLgNT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
