Refer Madness: Sex, Drugs and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Houghton Mifflin
America’s black market is much larger than we realize, and it affects us all deeply, whether or not we smoke pot, rent a risqué 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.

READ THIS BEFORE BIDDING.
If you win please have your verified address ready. I ship on Tuesdays or at the very latest, Wednesdays, so if you don't have your address to me by Monday evening you will have to wait until the following week for me to ship your item. Since I am paying for shipping I will be sending this item out USPS Media Mail. That means mail time could (but not always) take as long as 10 business days depending on where they are shipping to. All shipments will have a tracking number. Just because you win the auction doesn't mean you get to change the shipping method!
Questions are gladly answered. Just remember that stupid questions get smart-ass answers.
