McCoy on drugs in Afghanistan

Alfred McCoy on drugs in Afghanistan, along with a radio interview.

He emphasizes towards the end that we need to rejuvenate Afghanistan's agriculture to make it more profitable to grow something else than opium. Also he says that reconstruction aid has been relatively small, so this makes the opium economy even more important to Afghans, hence it goes against eradicating it.
