Description
Summary:Argues that trafficking is the unacknowledged underside of globalization. The official economy relies on this illegal economy. Without it, globalization cannot access cheap labor, it cannot reach vulnerable new markets, and it cannot finance expansion into the places most ravaged by human suffering. Traffick has become the secret basis of global expansion. Bhattacharyya examines the workings of the illegal economy, breaking it down into four main sections: organized crime, drugs, arms and people-trafficking. - from publisher description.
