"This book argues that the cause of the failure to control addiction is that the conventional wisdom of the 19th and 20th centuries focused too single-mindedly on the afflicted individual addict. Although addiction obviously manifests itself in individual cases, its prevalence differs dramatically between societies. This book shows that the social circumstances that spread addiction in a conquered tribe or a failing civilisation are also built into today's globalising free-market society. The book argues that the most effective response to a growing addiction problem is a social and political one, rather than an individual one"--BOOK JACKET.
