| Summary | "Government by the Brewers?" by Adolph Keitel is a critical examination of the brewing industry, its influence on society, and the resulting social consequences, written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a historical account of the repercussions stemming from the brewing trade, particularly during a period when prohibition was a significant social issue in the United States. Keitel draws from his extensive experience within the brewing industry to explore the themes of political corruption, vice, and public welfare related to the consumption of beer. In the book, Keitel argues that the brewing industry wields significant power over societal norms and government structures, marking the brewers as key players in political corruption and the perpetuation of crime. He discusses the societal issues that arise from beer consumption, including its addictive nature, its misleading label as a temperance drink, and its detrimental effect on the sanctity of the home. Through various chapters, Keitel outlines how brewers manipulate electoral processes, revenue, and public perception to favor their industry's survival, ultimately contending that true improvement in public welfare can only be achieved through the abolition of breweries and the control of beer sales. His fervent stance against the brewing industry presents a cautionary narrative about the intersection of business and public health. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
