I heard an extremely interesting interview regarding the world black market trade in illicit drugs with Alfred McCoy, the author of The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade. After doing a search I found a link to the interview and thought I'd share it here:

Worldview - Geopolitics of Drugs: The Politics of Heroin

The McCoy interview was only a part of a week long series of programs investigating the geopolitics of drugs. Further search led me to this page, which includes links to the entire series of interviews:

Worldview - Series

This information definitely opened my eyes, let me know what you think.
