Johann Hari is a British writer and journalist who has written for many of the world’s leading newspapers, including The New York TimesLe Monde, and The Guardian. He was a lead op-ed columnist for The Independent for nine years, and left the newspaper after it was revealed that in some of his interviews, he had used passages that his interviewees had written or said elsewhere, and presented them as if they had been said directly to him. Since then he has written The New York Times best-selling book Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Day of the War on Drugs, which has been praised for its insights and for its thorough referencing by everyone from Glenn Greenwald to Elton John to Noam Chomsky to Naomi Klein.
