商品簡介
The political foundation of the US War on Drugs--prohibitionist, moralizing, intolerant, deceitful, destructive--carries forward a deep authoritarian logic, argues Boggs, that can be seen in the widening power of the federal bureaucracy, policy, security state, prison complex, and border operations--all coinciding with a perpetual narrowing of the public sphere. He finds that the drug war, driven by an ensemble of wealthy and powerful interests, has caused more damage than could ever be attributed to drug consumption itself.
