In her groundbreaking book, Drug War Capitalism, Dawn Paley exposes the hidden history of the drug war. She shows how the government has used the war on drugs to justify its own expansion of power and control. She also shows how the drug war has been used to target and criminalize communities of color.

Paley argues that the drug war is not about public safety or health. It is about profit. The government and corporations that profit from the drug war have a vested interest in keeping it going. They have lobbied against drug legalization and reform, and they have funded campaigns to spread fear and misinformation about drugs.

Drug War Capitalism is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of the drug war and its devastating impact on our society. Paley's book is a powerful indictment of the government and corporations that have profited from the drug war, and it is a call to action for those who want to end the drug war and create a more just and equitable society.
