- Title
Money and Beer in Ireland, 1790-1875.
- Authors
Lee, J.
- Abstract
This article shows that sales of Guinness' Brewery are an unreliable index of the intensity of economic trends as discussed in Patrick Lynch and John Vaizey's article "Guinness's Brewery in the Irish Economy, 1759-1876". It compares the beer consumption in the country between 1837 and 1871. It also criticizes the Lynch and Vaizey's tendency to substitute increases in Guinness' sales for overall increases in beer consumption. Finally, the article claims that Lynch and Vaizey have exaggerated the growth of beer consumption from the thirties to the seventies by relying so heavily on trends in Guinness' sales.
