I will be traveling for the next 19 days so I plan to post it frequently.
German beer lovers in Cincinnati hardens
Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Reason, August/September, 2025.
excerpt:
Cincinnati’s population hit 115,435 people ranked in the six-year-old American city, ranging from 2,540 in 1810 to 115,435 in 1850. By 1900 there were 325,902 residents, according to the US Census Bureau.
Much of this growth came from immigration. In 1850, almost half of Cincinnati’s population was born abroad. The majority of Cincinnati immigrants came from Ireland or Germany, particularly Germany. By 1890, German immigrants or those whose parents were Berman’s German immigrants accounted for 57% of the Cincinnati population, according to the “Ginginnati” of Cincinnati.
Germans in Cincinnati tended to build German schools and churches, launch German newspapers, and launch social and charity clubs in Germany. Among the many companies they launched were beer gardens and most of the region’s largest breweries. These included Christian Moraine, founded by Bavarian immigrants in 1853, and Hudepohl Brewing Company, founded in 1885 by the sons of Bavarian immigrants. The Bush brand may still be familiar to beer drinkers today.

The latest flu impact of immigration in Cincinnati You’ve come from Africa, especially Mauritania. German immigration is now old news and has banned alcohol. But we are in a new era of uncertainty about immigration – here, Don, who is particularly eager to speak their native tongue, or “assimilate”, has made a new effort to persuade America of the dangers of drinks.
At Bothards, the experience of German immigration in Cincinnati is mentoring. It suggests that immediate assimilation is not a pain for ultimate assimilation, and that maintaining pride in one’s language and habits is not a barrier to building businesses and other Instads that enrich the wider community. It also reminds us of how alcohol and helpful facilities connect people and develop a sense of local identity and solidarity. In today’s atomization, globalization, and highly mediated times, its SEM is particularly important and healthy in itself. Prost!
And sadly:
Meanwhile, “local stills produced 1,145 barrels of whiskey every day.” (At one point, “the city’s practical esh shopkeepers kept the barrels.” [of whiskey] It’s on hand for customers who get free drinks while they’re shopping,” the book claims. ”)
DRH Notes: This work is full of interesting facts and offers a sub-view of how immigration was integrated in the 19th century.

Why Ben Powell on the freedom and institutions of the immigrant improvisation economy?
Nathan Goodman will interview Ben Powell at Mercatus Center on June 25th, 2025.
In the first six minutes or so, Ben Powell is doing a beautiful job of sequencing. We start with the most important issues and tackle less important issues. The rest is also excellent.
Have you heard of the good news?
Clifford S. Asness and Michael R. Strain, The Free Press, July 1, 2025.

Taxable remittances are a big risk for small rewards for Vray
Yvonne Su, Los Angeles Times, June 30, 2025.
excerpt:
The proposal for remittance of taxes sent by individuals without a Social Security number will have you passed the House of Representatives and are currently in front of the Senate. At 3.5%, the tax initially raised $26 billion over the next decade.
The changes made by the Senate on Saturday narrowed the scope significantly, with taxes at 1% and yields only $10 billion over the next decade. But the goal has resumed the same thing. It will decisively transfer and raise funds from outside legally and externally that send money to your family in your hometown.
Taxing immigrants may seem like simple money, but that’s not a sensible policy. The proposed tax risks to undermine B’s financial transparency and national security. The policy pushes billions of dollars into regulated channels such as cryptocurrency exchanges, making law enforcement work even more difficult and ultimately hurts the VRAE community that the US seeks to stabilize overseas for geopolitical reasons.
