Deeply Gravely Quite Anxiously Concerned by Peter Medeiros
5.0
Insightful, funny and fairly novel, Narconomics takes us inside the billion dollar business of cartels. Unlike the majority of books about narcos recently, Wainwright comes from an economic angle as opposed to a fear monger one.
Government agencies, law enforcement, and policy makers should take note of some of the conclusions reached in this book. What we're doing isn't working and hasnt worked and Wainwright explains why in a wonderfully clear way.
Unfortunately, after reading Zerozerozero last year, this book falls a little flat and rehashes much of the same content without really getting into new waters. If you've never read about the narcos or cocaine trade, this is a wonderful starting place, but for those of you familiar with the subject, I recommend flipping through over close reading.
