Kojo Koram—legal scholar and acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eUncommon Wealth\u003c\/i\u003e—travels across five continents to uncover how criminalized substances are being rapidly rebranded as commodities in a new, billion-dollar industry. Cannabis dispensaries now trade in what once led to life sentences. Psychedelics are the darlings of biotech. But for many, the old world hasn’t ended: prisons still swell with the poor, and enforcement falls hardest along lines of race and class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a polemic for or against legalization. It is a powerful, clear-eyed reckoning with how we got here—and what kind of future we are building in a world hooked not only on drugs, but on economic “fixes” of every kind. Combining reportage, political analysis and vivid personal testimony, \u003ci\u003eThe Next Fix\u003c\/i\u003e tells the untold story of drugs, capitalism and inequality in the 21st century.Dr Kojo Koram is a Reader in Law at Birkbeck School of Law, University of London.
