From the book, "The nation is crying for an honest weighing of the dollar and societal costs of the drug war against its limited accomplishments in reducing the admittedly serious problem of drug abuse. This volume addresses the many ways in which America is paying for its drug war--many billions of dollars spent, encroachment on individual constitutional rights, distortion and corruption of policing, and incarceration of over 400,000 people in a frustrating attempt to keep the drug market from responding to domestic demand." From the rear cover, a review by Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, Former Attorney General of the United States, "The War on Drugs is this generation's Vietnam - with "success" apparently being measured by a body count filling our prisons with nonviolent users.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. As new condition white boards/red cloth spine/black spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preface by Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman dated May 2, 1977; Foreword by Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek; Notes and Index. "This is a brilliant and passionate book by a brilliant and passionate man," writes Milton Friedman. "It is a profound analysis of the suicidal course on which our beloved country is proceeding -- so clearly and so simply written, with such eloquence, such obvious sincerity, such a broad base in recorded fact and personal experience, that it is hard to see how any reasonable man who wishes his fellow citizens well can fail to be persuaded by it." " I can assure the reader," writes F.A. Hayek, "that Mr. Simon is not UNDULY an alarmist. If we learn from him and the few people who think like him, we may still avert the threatening collapse of our political and economic order." With such endorsements from TWO Nobel Prize-winning economists, it is obvious that William E. Simon has written one of the most significant books for our country in this perilous time. In this book, Mr. Simon presents both his personal philosophy and an insider's revealing picture of the Nixon and Ford Administrations. He substantiates his important message with the wider perspective he gained in his stormy Washington years. His aim is to inspire all Americans to a critical awareness of the real and unbreakable connection between economic and political freedom. To lose one is to lose the other. To lose one is to lose the other. And we are losing both, he warns, in the wake of the expanding state. But Mr. Simon does more than warn us, more than reveal the dangers of too much government: he offers a blueprint for a "counter-intelligentsia" to preserve our freedom." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William E. Simon was Secretary of the Treasury from 1974 to 1977. He also served as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, 1973-1974, and as CHairman of the Economic Policy Board, the Federal Energy Office, and the East-West FOreign Trade Board. Mr. Simon is now a Senio Advisor to Booz, Allen & Hamilton, Inc. and a Senior Consultant to Blyth Eastman Dillon & Co., Inc. - from the rear inner jacket flap.
