| Synopsis: |
An Unsafe Bet? The D angerous R ise of G ambling and the D ebate W e S hould B e H aving reveals how gambling represents a danger to public health due to its inherent addiction potential, which is being intentionally downplayed by the gambling industry and governments. * Lays bare the extent of gambling and its effects on society * Exposes the dilemma for policy makers, who are charged with protecting public health but also increasingly dependent on revenues earned from gambling * Written by Jim Orford, an internationally respected authority on the topic * International examples broaden the argument and reveal the global stakes involved |
