About this product

Product Information

In Reefer Madness, the best-selling author of Fast Food Nation investigates America's black market and its far-reaching influence on our society through three of its mainstays -- pot, porn, and illegal immigrants. The underground economy is vast; it comprises perhaps 10 percent -- perhaps more -- of America's overall economy, and it's on the rise. Eric Schlosser charts this growth, and finds its roots in the nexus of ingenuity, greed, idealism, and hypocrisy that is American culture. Hereveals the fascinating workings of the shadow economy by focusing on marijuana, one of the nation's largest cash crops; pornography, whose greatest beneficiaries include Fortune 100 companies; and illegal migrant workers, whose lot often resembles that of medieval serfs. All three industries show how the black market has burgeoned over the past three decades, as America's reckless faith in the free market has combined with a deep-seated puritanism to create situations both preposterous and tragic. Through pot, porn, and migrants, Schlosser traces compelling parallels between underground and overground: how tycoons and gangsters rise and fall, how new technology shapes a market, how government intervention can reinvigorate black markets as well as mainstream ones, how big business learns -- and profits -- from the underground. With intrepid reportage, rich history, and incisive argument, Schlosser illuminates the shadow economy and the culture that casts that shadow.

REEFER MADNESS
A TRUE STORY -- THIS IS SOMETHING EVERYONE IN AMERICA SHOULD READ TO SEE HOW THE LAWS PERTAINING TO MARIJUANA ARE NO MORE THAN A MONEY TRAP.. THE LAW MAKERS ARE MORE INTERESTED IN MONEY THAN A SAFE AMERICA.. SMOKE MARIJUANA -- SMOKE TOBACCO-- HMMM WHICH SMELLS BETTER? OK - LETS MAKE THAT ONE ILLEGAL -- THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE AND ENFORCE THESE LAWS ARE THE TRUE CRIMINALS...WHY DOES SOCIETY TURN THERE HEADS WHEN SOMETHING IS SO SERIOUSLY WRONG -- AMERICA -- WHERE A MAN GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR MARIJUANA -- AND 25 YEARS FOR MURDER -- WHO CAN CHANGE THIS...???? OR BETTER YET WHO EXECUTES THESE LAWS AND REALLY THINKS HE OR SHE IS DOING A JUSTICE. THESE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THE PROTECTORS OF THE LAND .. I GUESS IF I WAS GOING TO ARREST SOMEONE IT SURE IS A LOT EASIER TO GET A MARIJUANA DEALER THAN A MURDERER.. ATTA BOY TO EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT WHO GETS A GUY WITH A JOINT -- I BET THAT WAS A RISKY MISSION --0 TELL YOUR GRAND KIDS HOW DANGEROUS YOUR JOB WAS ..HOW THAT POT DEALER WAS A REAL MENACE TO SOCIETY - YOUR GRANDMA OR GRANDPA WAS A REAL PATRIOT.HOPE YOUR GRAND KIDS NEVER READ THIS BOOK........Read full review
