Kojo Koram—legal scholar and acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eUncommon Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e—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 enforce-ment falls hardest along lines of race and class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Next Fix \u003c\/i\u003etells the untold story of drugs, capital­ism and inequality in the twenty-first century.","brand":"Kojo Koram","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":48675255419092,"sku":"9781804294123","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d4c08dc1-04d6-4f8b-8626-74616c81701e.jpg?v=1789510446","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781804294123","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
