add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "A Reckoning: Drugs, the Cities, and the American Future," by Elliott Currie. In the U.S., government surveys indicate that middle-class drug use has declined so dramatically that overall drug use is not only below its 1979 peak but lower than when such surveys began in the early and mid-seventies. Currie says that middle-class drug use fell in spite of the drug war, not because of it and he concludes that twenty years after the drug war began in earnest, people are far worse off than when they started.
