Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is the story of a new Bolivian social structure, based on cocaine, composed of peasants manufacturing coca paste, wealthy merchants exploiting their labour and exporting their goods, and the so-called drug-enforcers profiting from the drug trade. Written by a former Secretary of State and Solicitor to the Supreme Court of Argentina, the book reveals the paradox of the drug war: that drug enforcement is actually enhancing and perpetuating the cocaine trade in Bolivia.
