Welcome to Litsy!

America�s black market is much larger than we realize, and it affects us all deeply, whether or not we smoke pot, rent a risqu� video, or pay our kids� nannies in cash. In Reefer Madness the best-selling author of Fast Food Nation 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 � Eric Schlosser 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.
