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.
