description: This is the story of a new Bolivian social structure, based on cocaine, composed of peasants manufacturing coca paste, wealthy merchants exploiting their labour and exporting their goods, and the so-called drug-enforcers profiting from the drug trade. Written by a former Secretary of State and Solicitor to the Supreme Court of Argentina, the book reveals the paradox of the drug that drug enforcement is actually enhancing and perpetuating the cocaine trade in Bolivia.
