5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Overview of Evolution of Federal Policy This Decade, December 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Drug Hate and the Corruption of American Justice (Hardcover)
I recommend this book highly. It is a well-written concise description of the transformation over the last decade of government policy/budgets and supporting media from helping citizens to tracking and punishing citizens. In combination with Gary Webb's Dark Alliance, it is an excellant tool to help understand how the "War on Drugs" works and how we have supported a variety of private and political purposes to use it and the enforcement bureaucracies to help ensure that wealth is controlled by a suprisingly small group of people in America. This is elitism at its most expensive and just the kind of environment that leads to symptoms like Y2K. When employees, organizations and constituents are out of alignment and financial disclosure of government investment not clearly and simply available by place and people, frightening things go on and citizens lose their ability and will to act. The American people can change this, and books like these help us see the world whole and begin a healthy and positive conversation.
