Pills, Powder and Smoke with Antony Loewenstein

About the episode

In this episode, Esther and Felix welcome Antony Loewenstein to talk about his recent book "Pills, Powder, and Smoke - Inside the Bloody War on Drugs". His book looks into the genesis, implementation and consequences of anti-drug policies, challenging binary narratives opposing legal and illegal markets; organized crime groups versus states. Loewenstein calls into question the actual benefactors of the war on drugs and brings to light its financial and human costs in source, transit and destination countries.
