Offers dire warnings about our society...Courtwright has long been America's leading voice on the history of drugs, and now he has shown how, in the world of limbic capitalism, addiction is promoted as a marketing tool for a wide variety of products, ones that guarantee customers, often for life., An important addition to Courtwright's groundbreaking work on the history of substance use disorders, this study of the accelerating 'weaponization' of pleasure--and the biological, social, and economic incentives that fuel excess--is compulsory reading for anyone wondering how addiction became the foremost public health problem worldwide. Deeply researched, intensely readable, and a sobering reminder of our vulnerability to bondage marketed as liberation.

Synopsis
"A mind-blowing tour de force that unwraps the myriad objects of addiction that surround us...Intelligent, incisive, and sometimes grimly entertaining." --Rod Phillips, author of Alcohol: A History "A fascinating history of corporate America's efforts to shape our habits and desires." -- Vox We live in an age of addiction, from compulsive gaming and shopping to binge eating and opioid abuse. Sugar can be as habit-forming as cocaine, researchers tell us, and social media apps are deliberately hooking our kids. But what can we do to resist temptations that insidiously rewire our brains? A renowned expert on addiction, David Courtwright reveals how global enterprises have both created and catered to our addictions. The Age of Addiction chronicles the triumph of what he calls "limbic capitalism," the growing network of competitive businesses targeting the brain pathways responsible for feeling, motivation, and long-term memory. "Compulsively readable...In crisp and playful prose and with plenty of needed humor, Courtwright has written a fascinating history of what we like and why we like it, from the first taste of beer in the ancient Middle East to opioids in West Virginia." -- American Conservative "A sweeping, ambitious account of the evolution of addiction...This bold, thought-provoking synthesis will appeal to fans of 'big history' in the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel ." -- Publishers Weekly

- j***m (322)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe absolute best seller! We had significant shipping problems, because of the wildfires. The seller went above and beyond in order to make sure that this sale was successful. The item, when received, was better than described. The shipping was fast (from the seller's end, anyway), professionally packaged, and tracking was provided. I could not have asked for more care and attentiveness to a transaction with "hiccups" outside of anyone's control.Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics by Thomas Aquinas 1995, Trade Paperback (#176805129806)
