Description du produit

Alexander's watershed study could not be more timely. Mainstream commentators, who are now grasping for explanations for an epidemic of dangerous addictions, will find it indispensible. (Catholic Herald )

This immensely important and original book will completely reframe your understanding of the wider social, historical, economic and cultural context of addiction (The Scientific and Medical Network )

This is, without a doubt, the most intriguing and painstaking book on addiction I have read for some time..."The Globalisation of Addiction" is scholarly, meticulously researched, passionately critical of the free-market economy, biased, speculative, selective, and quite wonderful...highly recommended...this is one of the most remarkable addiction texts of the decade. (John B. Davies, Addiction Research and Theory )

This fascinating and unique book explores the problem of addiction using a nontraditional approach...a refreshing look at an age-old problem. (Doody's Notes )
