Germans make wonderful beer. Yet the productivity of the German beer industry is only 43 percent that of the U.S. beer industry. Meanwhile, the German metalworking and steel industries are equal in productivity to their American counterparts. Since the Germans are evidently capable of organizing industries well, why can?t they do so when it comes to beer?
It turns out that the German beer industry suffers from small?scale production. There are a thousand tiny beer companies in Germany, shielded from competition with one another because each German brewery has virtually a local monopoly, and they are also shielded from competition with imports. The United States has 67 major beer breweries, producing 23 billion liters of beer per year. All of Germany?s 1,000 breweries combined produce only half as much. Thus the average U.S. brewery produces 31 times more beer than the average German brewery.
This fact results from local tastes and German government policies. German beer drinkers are fiercely loyal to their local brand, so there are no national brands in Germany analogous to our Budweiser, Miller, or Coors. Instead, most German beer is consumed within 30 miles of the factory where it is brewed. Therefore, the German beer industry cannot profit from economies of scale. In the beer business, as in other businesses, production costs decrease greatly with scale. The bigger the refrigerating unit for making beer, and the longer the assembly line for filling bottles with beer, the lower the cost of manufacturing beer. Those tiny German beer companies are relatively inefficient. There?s no competition; there are just a thousand local monopolies.
The local beer loyalties of individual German drinkers are reinforced by German laws that make it hard for foreign beers to compete in the German market. The German government has so?called beer purity laws that specify exactly what can go into beer. Not surprisingly, those government purity specifications are based on what German breweries put into beer, and not what American, French, and Swedish breweries like to put into beer. Because of those laws, not much foreign beer gets exported to Germany, and because of inefficiency and high prices much less of that wonderful German beer than you would otherwise expect gets sold abroad. (Before you object that German Löwenbräu beer is widely available in the United States, please read the label on the next bottle of Löwenbräu that you drink here: it?s not produced in Germany but in North America, under license, in big factories with North American productivities and efficiencies of scal(E).

Little Red Riding Hood
There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large
forest full of endangered fauna and rare plants. One day her mother asked her to take a basket
of organically grown fruit and mineral water to her grandmother’s house.
– But mother, won’t this be stealing work from the people who have struggled for years to earn
5 the right to carry all packages between various people in the woods?
Red Riding Hood’s mother assured her that she had called the union secretary and had been
given a special compassionate mission exemption form.
– But mother, aren’t you oppressing me by ordering me to do this?
Red Riding Hood’s mother pointed out that it was impossible for women to oppress each other,
10 since all women were equally oppressed until all women were free.
On her way to grandma’s house, Red Riding Hood passed a woodchopper and wandered off the
path in order to examine some flowers. She was startled to find herself standing before a wolf,
who asked her what was in her basket.
– I am taking my grandmother some healthy snacks in a gesture of solidarity. Now, if you’ll
15 excuse me, I would prefer to be on my way.
Red Riding Hood returned to the main path and proceeded towards her grandmother’s house.
But the wolf knew of a quicker route to grandma’s house. He burst into the house and ate
grandma, a course of action affirmative of his nature as a predator. He put on grandma’s
nightclothes and awaited.
20 Red Riding Hood entered the cottage and said:
– Goodness! grandma, what big eyes you have!
– You forget that I am optically challenged.
– And grandma, what an enormous nose you have!
– Naturally, I could have had it surgically fixed, but I didn’t give in to such societal pressures, my
25 child.
– And grandma, what very big, sharp teeth you have!
The wolf could not take any more of this, grabbed Little Red Riding Hood and opened his jaws
so wide that she could see her poor grandmother in his belly.
At the same time, the woodchopper burst into the cottage, brandishing an axe.
30 – Hands off!, cried the woodchopper.
– And what do you think you’re doing?, cried Little Red Riding Hood. If I let you help me now,
I would be expressing a lack of confidence in my own abilities.
– Get your hands off that endangered species! This is a police raid!, screamed the woodchopper.
– Thank goodness you got here in time, said the Wolf. I thought I was a goner.

Prison without guards or weapons in Brazil
Tatiane Correia de Lima is a 26-year-old mother of two who is serving a 12-year sentence in Brazil. The South American country has the world’s fourth largest prison population and its jails regularly come under the spotlight for their poor conditions, with chronic overcrowding and gang violence provoking deadly riots.
Lima had just been moved from a prison in the mainstream penitential system to a facility run ______(1) the Association for the Protection and Assistance to Convicts (APAC) in the town of Itaúna, in Minas Gerais state. Unlike in the mainstream system, “which steals your femininity”, as Lima puts it, at the APAC jail she is allowed to wear her own clothes and have a mirror, make-up and hair dye. But the difference between the regimes is far more than skin-deep.
The APAC system has been gaining growing recognition as a safer, cheaper and more humane answer to the country’s prison crisis. All APAC prisoners must have passed through the mainstream system and must show remorse and be willing to follow the strict regime of work and study which is part of the system’s philosophy. There are no guards or weapons and visitors are greeted by an inmate who unlocks the main door to the small women’s jail.
Inmates are known as recuperandos (recovering people), reflecting the APAC focus ______(2) restorative justice and rehabilitation. They must study and work, sometimes in collaboration with the local community. If they do not - or if they try to abscond - they risk being returned to the mainstream system. There have been physical fights but never a murder at an APAC jail.
