Narconomics: How To Run a Drug Cartel (Paperback) By Tom Wainwright

Narconomics applies economic and business analysis to the world of drug cartels, treating criminal organizations as firms operating in black markets. Tom Wainwright — drawing on reporting, economics, and interviews — explains how cartels structure operations, manage risks, adapt to law enforcement, and exploit market incentives. The book offers a clear, often surprising look at the logic that makes illegal markets function and what policymakers can learn to better combat organized crime.
