Description
Beeronomics: How Beer Explains the World By Johan F. M. Swinnen and Devin Briski The history of beer has played a significant role in shaping the world, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern-day Britain's imperialist conquests. This book explores how strategic taxation and regulation of beer have influenced major events throughout history. From the Hanseatic League's use of hops to establish Hamburg and Bremen's export dominance, to the spread of industrial lager beer in the late nineteenth century, Beeronomics examines key developments that have moved the brewing industry forward. The book also delves into the economic influence of beer on the world, providing context for recognizable brands and consumer trends. By exploring the common role of beer taxation throughout history, Beeronomics offers a unique perspective on the brewing industry's evolution and its impact on global events.
