Opium Empire and the Global Political Economy
English

About The Book

Drug epidemics are clearly not just a peculiar feature of modern life; the opium trade in the nineteenth century tells us a great deal about Asian herion traffic today. In an age when we are increasingly aware of large scale drug use, this book takes a long look at the history of our relationship with mind-altering substances. Engagingly written, with lay readers as much as specialists in mind, this book will be fascinating reading for historians, social scientists, as well as those involved in Asian studies, or economic history. Chapter 1 The dream of empire; Chapter 2 All the drowsy syrups of the world; Chapter 3 Cleverer than alchemists; Chapter 4 In compassion to mankind; Chapter 5 The most gentlemanlike speculation; Chapter 6 In the hands of Jews and Armenians; Chapter 7 A matter of considerably greater solicitude; Chapter 8 The most long-continued and systematic international crime;
