Sinopse

"Drug Wars" explores the intricate history of drug policy in the United States, revealing how the pursuit of drug control has profoundly shaped American society, its laws, and its global relationships. The book examines the evolution of the "war on drugs," from early narcotics regulation in the 20th century to its intensification under presidents Nixon and Reagan, and highlights the unintended consequences that have disproportionately affected marginalized communities.

 
One intriguing insight is how policies intended to combat drug use often exacerbated the problem, creating a cycle of challenges for law enforcement and the criminal justice system. The book delves into the intertwined roles of law enforcement, the rise of organized crime syndicates involved in drug trafficking, and the social and economic impacts of these phenomena.

 
It also analyzes alternative approaches to drug policy, such as harm reduction and decriminalization, and considers their potential for a more just and effective system. By drawing on government documents, law enforcement records, and academic studies, "Drug Wars" offers a comprehensive understanding of the drug landscape in America, providing a critical analysis of the historical assumptions that have shaped drug policy debates.

Symposium The (Librovox)

Plato

The Symposium is a philosophical book written by Plato sometime after 385 BCE. On one level the book deals with the genealogy, nature and purpose of love, on another level the book deals with the topic of knowledge, specifically how does one know what one knows. The topic of love is taken up in the form of a group of speeches, given by a group of men at a symposium or a wine drinking party at the house of the tragedian Agathon at Athens. Plato constructed the Symposium as a story within a story within a story. This architecture creates the space for Plato to build his philosophy of knowledge. The speech of Socrates points out that the highest purpose of Love is to become a Philosopher, or Lover of Wisdom. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Shooting an Elephant

George Orwell

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
IN Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people—the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me. I was sub-divisional police officer of the town, and in an aimless, petty kind of way anti-European feeling was very bitter. No one had the guts to raise a riot, but if a European woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit betel juice over her dress. As a police officer I was an obvious target and was baited whenever it seemed safe to do so. When a nimble Burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous laughter. This happened more than once. In the end the sneering yellow faces of young men that met me everywhere, the insults hooted after me when I was at a safe distance, got badly on my nerves. The young Buddhist priests were the worst of all. There were several thousands of them in the town and none of them seemed to have anything to do except stand on street corners and jeer at Europeans.
