An exposé by Disaster Capitalism author Antony Loewenstein, Pills, Powder, and Smoke traverses the streets of London, the killing fields of Central America and the cocaine routes of West Africa to uncover a failed policy and ask who it really profits. According to journalist Johann Hari, “anyone who cares about the war on drugs … should read this superb book right away”. With George Dertadian, Antony discusses how the war on drugs focuses on controlling markets and people rather than ending addiction, and argues for a more humane approach.
