Crime is Money: How Banning Drugs Bankrolls Violence
with Johann Hari
Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.
Today’s episode is a rebroadcast of a popular show we did with New York Times Bestselling author Johann Hari, on his research about drug markets and how drug prohibition incentivizes and rewards crime and violence. We’re creating the very thing we’re supposed to be fighting.
It’s counter-intuitive, but the harder we crack down on the drug supply, the more crime we have seen and will continue to see. It’s not chance. It’s economics, and Johann breaks it down and makes it easy to understand for everyone.
His first book, Chasing the Scream*, helped spark the movement that created End It For Good and this podcast.
