Again, this is that same chart showing unemployment and recessions
1973-74: The DOW was high early 1973 as the pro-choice, anti-draft Libertarian Party got an electoral vote. Women became rightful individuals a couple of weeks later and the U.S. was driven out of Vietnam as unemployment dropped to 1960 levels. Nixon's Watergate burglars soon dominated the news until mid-October, when a Brussels bank was investigated for odd exchange transactions with German banks.(link) The New York Dow Jones average dropped from 1000 to about 600. Germany down from 800 to 550. France dropped from 100
to below 50. London dropped from 500 to 175. Italy showed wild zigzags, net loss.
Holland dropped from 170 to below 100. Australia dropped from 650 to 75. Canada
fell from 220 to below 150. Japan down from 410 to 275. Hong Kong 1000, spiked
to 1800, then dropped to about 220... Why?
On 22JAN1973, the same day the Supreme Court voted by a margin of 7-2 that a woman had a constitutional right to an abortion, the twenty-fifth session of
the Commission on Narcotic Drugs was held at Geneva from 22 January to 9
February 1973.(link) Recall that the 1969-1970 recession above--with steep unemployment--matched Nixon's Operation Intercept which segued into the Convention on Psychotropic Substances signed at Vienna, Austria, on February 21, 1971. On the chart above, surprise, surprise, in mid-October 1973 we have the start of another recession. During the gap campaign funding irregularities and burglars hired to break into Democratic headquarters occupied the Nixon Administration, which issued heated denials of wrongdoing in August. Nixon was cornered, quit, was pardoned by Ford for all high crimes, felonies and treason on 08SEP1974... but the deadly prohibitionism he left, like a stray dog, on America's doorstep, persisted with the huge increases in unemployment, inflation and stagnation shown above.
Unemployment increased under the weight of deadly new prohibitions enforced worldwide by men with guns. Ford and running mate Dole were tossed out by voters and unemployment fell during the Jimmy Carter Administration.

Good Reading: INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL by L.E.S. EISENLOHR, Arno Press, NY, 1981. This highly slanted government propaganda book opens with the Establishment of the Opium Advisory Committee and covers it's work, bizarre plans and trial balloons, monopoly control, the establishment of the Permanent Central Opium Board and its functioning, and several chapters on how deadly coercion can control production. All of this papers over entirely the fact that the Hague Opium Convention, organized to placate Qing China, was re-tasked as a weapon in cartel warfare. Americans wanted to include beer, wine and brandy but dared not lest they become a laughingstock. So the U.S. devoted all efforts to banning South American cocaine--a drug much like coffee. Eurasians meanwhile exploited the bureaucracy--funded in large measure by the fanatical Herbert-Hoover-Harry Anslinger Axis--to back its efforts to ban cannabis, which is neither toxic nor habit-forming, precisely to make opium more expensive and profitable. The truth is not always a pretty thing. Find this book on bookfinder.com

Typical drug manufactures chart, 1930 No American schoolbook mentioned the Opium Wars until Brian Inglis published The Opium War in 1976, the election year the Libertarian Party ran its second slate of candidates demanding repeal of drug prohibition laws. The audiobook version is now available.( link ) Brian's other drug book, the Forbidden Game, gives further insights into how prohibitionism developed as a cudgel with which pharma cartels wielded government laws as marketing tools and double-edged weapons once the colonial harnessing of addiction was out of the bag.( link ) The link between the dragooning of political States into marketing tools and weapons of economic warfare is not the sort of thing those political states extoll with pride. Enormous effort goes into disguising the fact made plain by Adam Smith in 1775 that wars prohibiting production and trade necessarily wreck national economies, just as purging the violence of law from trade relations gives rise to the Wealt...
Off with their heads! Qing prohibitionism On the 17th of January, 1929 , the League Of Nations' coryphaeus of opium prohibitionism met in Geneva to deliberate on the initiation of deadly force in furtherance of prohibitions outlawing production and trade. On September 2, this Opium Advisory Committee recommended that the League organize gangs to kill, imprison and confiscate throughout the entire planet, as the Republicans had done in the USA. As of March 2, 1929, beer and wine made one liable to five years in jail and a fine of about 14 pounds of gold.( link ) Stock markets shriveled and interest rates climbed steeply. All that remained was for Europe to withdraw investments from the USA, as England had done when China, in December of 1836, invited the East India Company opium dealers to leave. Germany--the world's premier heroin producer even before the First World War--stood threatened by the Christian fascism of compulsory abstinence. Japan was the only Asian cou...
The blue line is unemployment, grey bars recessions. We now examine 1980-1990. On 19 February 1980, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs decided to ask all governments to implement to the fullest extent possible sweeping countermeasures against drugs declared illegal, and recommended crackdowns: 3 (XXVIII) ... on financial assets and transactions related to illicit traffic … and subsidized equipment and technical assistance to prohibitionist countries.( link ) The muckraking journalists on 60 Minutes--who stirred national panic after a TMI reactor malfunction injured no one--promptly fanned hysteria against Bolivian plant drugs neither habit-forming nor addictive.( link ) The recession in 1980--like the Great Depression caused in part by League of Nations prohibitionism--is thus clearly discernible in the first quarter of 1980. Inflation went to 13%, then 15% and the San Francisco Fed presented an unconvincing theory reminiscent of Herbert Hoover's "explanation" of the...
