Description

An Unsafe Bet? The Dangerous Rise of Gambling and the Debate We Should Be Having 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
