From outlawing bowling in colonial America to regulating violent
video games and synthetic drugs today, Mark Stein's Vice Capades
examines the nation's relationship with the actions, attitudes, and
antics that have defined morality. This humorous and quirky history
reveals that our views of vice are formed not merely by morals but
by power. While laws against nude dancing have become less
restrictive, laws restricting sexual harassment have been enacted.
While marijuana is no longer illegal everywhere, restrictive laws
have been enacted against cigarettes. Stein examines this nation's
inconsistent moral compass and how the powers-that-be in each era
determine what is or is not deemed a vice. From the Puritans who
founded Massachusetts with unyielding, biblically based laws to
those modern purveyors of morality who currently campaign against
video game violence, Vice Capades looks at the American history we
all know from a fresh and exciting perspective and shows how vice
has shaped our nation, sometimes without us even knowing it.
