Opium Empire and the Global Political Economy: A Study of the Asian Opium Trade 1750-1950
Carl Trocki
Drug epidemics are clearly not just a peculiar feature of modern life;
the opium trade in the nineteenth century tells us a great deal about
Asian herion traffic today. In an age when we are increasingly aware of
large scale drug use, this book takes a long look at the history of our
relationship with mind-altering substances. Engagingly written, with lay
readers as much as specialists in mind, this book will be fascinating
reading for historians, social scientists, as well as those involved in
Asian studies, or economic history.
