But not for you.
Well - it works well, for the capitalists!
“The beer industry underwent substantial
consolidation in 2008, when Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, was bought
by InBev, a Belgian company. Around the same time, SABMiller of London and
MolsonCoors of Denver merged their U.S. operations. Those two
companies brewed other popular American beers, Miller and Coors. .
. . Together, the two brewers [now] control 31
percent of the global market.”*
So, of course, more efficiency: and prices
went down. See above graph!
