The man who exposed the lie of the war on drugs
Here it is, laid bare: cartel as corporation, corporation as cartel; cocaine as pure capitalism, capitalism as cocaine, known in its purest form as zero-zero-zero – a wry reference to the name of the best grade of flour, ideal for pasta.
Weaving together stories, interviews, wiretaps, this book reveals an international narco-state, which, in the wake of the financial crisis, is now the pillar of our global economy.
