摘要：Gambling, Who Wins. Who loses., edited by Gerda Reith, Ph.D, examines several wide-ranging yet important topics related to gambling. This multidisciplinary compilation of essays, some written by prominent scholars in their fields, examines such questions as: How can the alluring economic benefits of gambling be balanced against the potential harm caused to a significant minority. Is problem or pathological gambling similar to drug dependency. To what extent, and by whom, should commercial gambling be regulated. To what extent should government be involved in the gambling business, and should it rely on gambling to generate revenue. Following an introduction by Dr. Reith, the collection of essays is divided into seven sections, each dealing with a different aspect of gambling and gambling behavior. The majority of the essays represent original work; however some are reprinted with permission from other sources.
