Summary

"Substance Abuse Costs" offers a crucial examination of the broad economic and social burdens stemming from drug misuse, essential for shaping public policy. By comprehensively assessing these costs, the book highlights the often-underestimated impact on society. It explores both direct economic factors, like healthcare expenditures and law enforcement expenses, and indirect social consequences, such as increased crime rates and strains on social welfare systems. Understanding these multifaceted costs is crucial for crafting effective prevention and treatment strategies.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with historical trends and methodological frameworks for cost analysis. It then delves into detailed analyses of specific cost categories, supported by government reports and academic studies. One intriguing fact is the consideration of lost productivity as a significant economic drain, alongside healthcare and criminal justice costs. Another is the emphasis on the social consequences, which are frequently overlooked in traditional cost assessments.

 
The book's unique value lies in its holistic approach, considering both economic and social dimensions to provide a comprehensive understanding. It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based analyses to inform policy debates and promote effective interventions, ultimately aiming to improve resource allocation and public health outcomes. This approach offers a more nuanced perspective on the true burden of substance abuse on society.

The Safety Anarchist - Relying...

Sidney Dekker

Work has never been as safe as it seems today. Safety has also never been as bureaucratized as it is today. Over the past two decades, the number of safety rules and statutes has exploded, and organizations themselves are creating ever more internal compliance requirements. At the same time, progress on safety has slowed to a crawl. Many incident- and injury rates have flatlined. Worse, excellent safety performance on low-consequence events tends to increase the risk of fatalities and disasters. Bureaucracy and compliance now seem less about managing the safety of the workers we are responsible for, and more about managing the liability of the people they work for. We make workers do a lot that does nothing to improve their success locally. Paradoxically, such tightening of safety bureaucracy robs us of exactly the source of human insight, creativity and resilience that can tell us how success is actually created, and where the next accident may well happen. 
It is time for Safety Anarchists: people who trust people more than process, who rely on horizontally coordinating experiences and innovations, who push back against petty rules and coercive compliance, and who help recover the dignity and expertise of human work.
