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.\u003cbr\u003e Reefer Madness is a powerful investigation that illuminates the shadow economy and the culture that casts that shadow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Schlosser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618446702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618446704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.56w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/28\/2004 pg. 16","brand":"Eric Schlosser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159210291455,"sku":"9780618446704","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_359f6a80-d23f-49dc-bf39-b4a94f849524.jpg?v=1689081258","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reefer-madness-eric-schlosser-9780618446704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
