Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Britain didn't just put the empire back the way it had found it.In Uncommon Wealth, Kojo Koram traces the tale of how after the end of the British empire an interconnected group of well-heeled British intellectuals, politicians, accountants and lawyers offshored their capital, seized assets and saddled debt in former 'dependencies'. This enabled horrific inequality across the globe as ruthless capitalists profited and ordinary people across Britain's former territories in colonial Africa, Asia and the Caribbean were trapped in poverty. However, the reinforcement of capitalist power across the world also ricocheted back home. Now it has left many Britons wondering where their own sovereignty and prosperity has gone.Decolonisation was not just a trendy buzzword. It was one of the great global changes of the past hundred years, yet Britain - the protagonist in the whole, messy drama - has forgotten it was ever even there. A blistering uncovering of the scandal of Britain's disastrous treatment of independent countries after empire, Uncommon Wealth shows the decisions of decades past are contributing to the forces that are breaking Britain today.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From America's plantation-turned-prison known as Angola in Louisiana to the psychedelic boom of Silicon Valley, The Next Fix tracks a seismic shift in global drug policy. Kojo Koram-legal scholar and acclaimed author of Uncommon Wealth-travels across five continents to examine how criminalized substances are being rebranded as commodities in a new billion-dollar industry. Legal cannabis dispensaries now trade in what once led to life sentences. Psychedelics have become fertile ground for biotech. But for all these developments, prisons still swell with underprivileged users and addicts, and enforcement falls hardest along lines of race and class.This is not a polemic for or against legalization. It is a powerful, clear-eyed reckoning with how we got here-and what kind of future is taking shape in a world addicted to economic "fixes" every bit as much as it is troubled by drugs. Combining reportage, political analysis and vivid personal testimony, The Next Fix tells the untold story of drugs, capitalism and inequality in the twenty-first century. A GRIPPING GLOBAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHANGING WORLD OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS - WHO PROFITS, WHO SUFFERS AND WHAT WILL FOLLOW THE WAR ON DRUGS Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As countries around the world turn away from a century-long War on Drugs, we are seeing the slow decline of a system of drug control which resulted in the futile brutalisation of poor people across the world, especially poor people of colour, all while issues of addiction, impoverishment and dangerous drug deaths continued to sky-rocket. But, as The Next Fix will show, what is being established in the aftermath of the drug war is actually threatening to reinforce many of the same inequalities that were intensified by prohibition. About 1% of the current legal cannabis dispensary store owners in the US are Black. Across many of the states that have legalised cannabis, people with drug convictions are denied a business licence or working in the industry.This means that the racial minorities who were disproportionately arrested and imprisoned during the drug war are now in danger of being punished twice: once by prohibition and again by exclusion from the emerging multibillion dollar market in legal drugs. Instead of advancing the course of social justice, drug law reform is helping the hedge funds, tech companies, oil companies and tobacco companies investing in drugs to get even richer, encouraging a commercialised legal drug industry that is likely to only accelerate the social problems associated with substance abuse. Going beyond the legal cannabis market to look at everything from the growing pharmaceutical/therapeutic use of psychedelics to the interconnected worlds of high finance and the cocaine trade, from the association of khat with narco-terrorism to the tobacco companies trying to use legal drugs to rebrand themselves as wellness companies, this book will be taking the readers behind the scenes of this new frontier of global capitalism. Entering the world of drug policy reform, which brings together contrasting characters from yoga instructors to traditional Rastafarian leaders, investment bankers to policing reform activists, over the chapters Kojo Koram will show that although we might be living through the end of the War on Drugs, the brave new world emerging out of it may, in practice, still look a lot like the old one. The Next Fix explores how the legalisation of drugs is gearing up to be one of the great swindles of the twenty-first century.
