Not only has the drug trade fed off of globalization, globalization feeds off of and is driven by it. The perspective I will take here is a historical one. My thesis, that the drug trade has been an influential force on what is known as "globalization," is a reevaluation of the relationship between three historical processes:
1} The development over several centuries of a global system for the production, trade, and distribution of drugs
2} The "cold war" for economic and geopolitical hegemony between capitalist and communist power structures
3} The development and expansion of a global economic system, known in its current liberal phase as "globalization" / 2031-01-02
