Summary
Misha Glenny: McMafia: Crime Without Borders
In the book McMafia, Misha Glenny takes us on a journey through the world of organized crime. After three full years of listening to the stories of arms smugglers in Ukraine, computer criminals in Brazil, racketeers in Japan. In addition, he spoke with numerous gangsters, police officers and victims of organized crime. The stories he brings us are fascinating, often terrifying and bizarre, and sometimes humorous. All of them together create a stunning picture of the rise of the gray economy, which many estimate covers almost twenty percent of the world's GDP, and reveal to us the networks of crime, politics and money around the world. Glenny also questions political methods that are powerless to tackle this problem rooted in global scarcity.
