Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. As drugs move from the underground economy into the mainstream, who stands to benefit from this new era of legalization and commercialization? And what happens when substances once associated with criminality become tools of wellness, productivity, and profit? On today's episode, Kojo Karam, professor of law and political economy at Loughborough University, joins Atusa Araxia Abrahamian, journalist and author, to discuss new frontiers in the global drugs trade.
Let's join our host Atusa now with more. Welcome to Intelligence Squared. Kojo, it's so nice to speak to you. Thank you for writing yet another wonderful book. Thank you.
Let's dive right in. So you start the book in Angola. Which is many things. What and where is Angola and what does it have to do with drugs? Oh, thank you so much for being in conversation with me again at Oza.
