Summary
In Today’s Episode: What economics can tell us about why the ‘war on drugs’ was lost before it ever began. The counterintuitive reason eliminating drug suppliers has never worked, and what actually has to change for the needle to move. The one force John argues can bend the demand curve not just for drugs, but for other destructive patterns in life and business. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to examine the economics of illegal drugs and what supply, demand, and human psychology reveal about the real path to solving addiction.
