Narconomics : How to Run a Drug Cartel

Just got the book today and already 140 pages in. Simply fascinating stories of drug lords, cartels, smugglers and the issues they encounter. Very engaging, well written, and has pictures too.

Está interesante, pero creo que, para México, le falta tratar la diversificación y sofisticación de las estrategias financieras. Y también falta analizar las consecuencias de descabezar los grandes cárteles, y la consiguiente explosión de narco negocios y bandas criminales dedicadas a actividades diversas como extorsión, tráfico de personas, prostitución, secuestro, cobros de piso, etc.

Entrega rápida e bem embalada.Quanto ao livro, conteúdo sensacional. A análise investigativa e as comparações do tráfico com práticas de indústrias é muito interessante e gera reflexões.Recomendo para qualquer um que tem interesse em políticas públicas, econômica ou até mesmo jornalismo investigativo.

Bello, la lettura scorre bene ed è molto piacevole. Certo, bisogna sapere un minimo di inglese per poterselo godere a pieno, però consigliato, soprattutto per studenti che studiano economia!

While my coffee is brewing, I felt it was the perfect time to review this product.I should mention that this review is incredibly premature - one is preparing to proceed on to chapter five - but I felt it merited plaudits.Having a loose interest in economics, this is a fascinating read about the logistics of the drug trade - all the way from production, to the consumer - applied with economics, and amazingly, it all makes sense! With some brilliant stories, I find myself laughing at times, but also sympathetic towards the victims of this horrible industry of crime. Wainwright's style of writing in this book is very easy to read and - thus far - been a good introduction to economics, with easy-to-digest esoteric. With specific events Wainwright examines, I find myself - rather strangely, possibly anxiously - questioning if the drugs trade is such a bad thing.In a way, I find it interchangeable with Machiavelli's 'The Prince', and having loved that piece of political satire, I can't see myself going back on my untimely judgement. Perhaps 'El Jefe' would be a more apt title for the book. Give it a read, at least until chapter five!Now please excuse me... My coffee is finished brewing, and my afternoon spliff awaits!
