 Rating: - Naples underworld, gamorrahGomorrah: A Personal Journey into the Violent International Empire of Naples' Organized Crime System good story. Scary truth. Rating:  - I smell something hereI'm a hundred pages into this overrated book and loud alarms are going off, the same sort of alarms that went off when I read "A Million Little Pieces" and "Running With Scissors."

So how does the book rate outside of the award winning film or Saviano's sad fate? For ... Read More Rating: - The only thing you learn in the black hole of Naples is how to dieIn going undercover, R. Saviano experienced at first hand the Mafia at work in the Naples region. It is a story of savage infighting, bid-rigging, trafficking and relentless slaughtering of competition. Economics Mafia business is one of the most aggressive forms of neoliberalism. It is a naked struggle among clans in order to create monopolies and to maximize profits. Their activities cover as different sectors as real estate, construction, cement, garment, farming, sugar and trafficking ... Read More
