Ep. 5: Libraries: How Brewers' Lobby Tried to Stop the Spread of Knowledge

Hello friends,

In this episode, we explore a wonderful book called The Library: A Fragile History written by Arthur der Weduwen and Andrew Pettegree. In one of the chapters, they mention a powerful brewers’ lobby that tried to stop the expansion of public libraries in England. (This is back in the 19th century)

Why would companies that make money on selling beer be against books?
