Sinossi

Sugar and Industry examines the profound and multifaceted role of sugar in shaping world history. It highlights how this single commodity has influenced economies, societies, and the environment on a global scale. The book traces sugar's journey from its ancient origins to its status as a global commodity, exploring its impact on colonial economies and the transatlantic slave trade. Readers will discover how scientific advancements in sugar production, while improving efficiency, also exacerbated environmental concerns, illustrating the tensions between progress and exploitation. This economic history delves into three key areas: the historical evolution of sugar production, its economic impact on global trade and industrial development, and its social consequences, including labor practices and public health implications.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with sugar's origins, moving through its role in shaping colonial economies, analyzing the industrial revolution's impact, and concluding with contemporary issues like health impacts and challenges faced by sugar-producing nations in a globalized market. By integrating diverse data sources and methodologies, Sugar and Industry provides a comprehensive understanding of sugar's global impact, making it a valuable resource for those interested in economic history and global development.

Decrim: How We Decriminalized...

Kennedy Stewart

A timely, insider account of an important and controversial step in British Columbia’s strategic effort to respond to the overdose crisis. 
Canada is in the middle of an opioid crisis. Since the province of British Columbia declared a public health emergency in 2016, more than 9,400 people have died of drug poisoning in BC―an average of six people a day―with nearly 1,500 apparent opioid-related deaths in the first eight months of 2022. 
In Decrim, Kennedy Stewart, mayor of Vancouver from 2018 to 2022, recounts historic progress in addressing this crisis. January 31, 2023, is the beginning of a three-year trial period for decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of hard drugs in British Columbia, a ground-breaking change in Canada’s approach to drug use. Kennedy Stewart has written Decrim to tell the story of how this remarkable policy change came about and the enormous challenges faced by those who fought for it―including its contribution to him losing his bid for mayoral re-election. In Decrim, Stewart lays out how ending the “war on drugs” and recognizing the overdose crisis as a public health issue will help reduce stigma related to substance use, increase access to health services, and decrease harms related to criminalization in British Columbia.
