History of Cocaine: How a Sacred Leaf Became a $100 Billion Empire

Описание: For thousands of years, Andean farmers chewed a small green leaf just to survive brutal altitudes and backbreaking labor. It was sacred, it was medicine, it was currency. Then a 19th-century chemist isolated its active compound and everything changed. This is the real history of coca and cocaine: from ancient Incan ritual and Spanish colonial mines, to Coca-Cola's forgotten original formula, to Pablo Escobar's billion-dollar cartel, to the science of addiction hiding behind the myth. It's a story about survival, power, and how one plant reshaped human history in ways most people never learn.If you've ever wondered how a humble mountain leaf turned into one of the most valuable and destructive substances on Earth, this is that story from the world before, to the world now.
