About this product

Product Information

An unforgettable examination of America's black market and its unrelenting grip on society. Eric Schlosser turns his exacting eye on the underbelly of the American marketplace and its far-reaching influence on our society. Exposing three American mainstays--pot, porn, and illegal immigrants--this book shows how the black market has burgeoned over the past several decades. He also draws compelling parallels between underground and overground: how tycoons and gangsters rise and fall, how new techonology shapes a market, how government intervention can reinvigorate black markets as well as mainstream ones, and how big business learns--and profits--from the underground. Reefer Madness is a powerful investigation that illuminates the shadow economy and the culture that casts that shadow.

Reefer Madness
When I read this book, Eric Schlosser quickly became one of my favorite non-fiction authors. He delves into 3 sectors of the American underground economy/black market: drugs (marijuana), illegal immigrant workers, and sex. I was introduced to the book when I was studying Sociology in college, and it really captured my interest. Schlosser presents well-researched and persuasive arguments in an engaging, story-telling fashion. I also liked his book, Fast Food Nation, I will definitely be watching for the publication of his next book about the American prison system. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with a general interest in sociology, economics, or law.
