Overview

Siempre han existido contrabandistas, traficantes y piratas, pero nunca como en los últimos tiempos, con la capacidad de operar a nivel mundial conectando los lugares más remotos del planeta y las capitales más cosmopolitas a la velocidad de Internet o de sus jets privados, con un poder económico que mueve más del 10 por ciento del comercio mundial (diez veces más que hace una década), y sobre todo con un poder político inédito hasta ahora.

Nunca antes los criminales habían sido tan globales, tan ricos ni tan políticamente influyentes. Moisés Naím expone en este libro la contundente tesis de que los traficantes están cambiando el mundo. El autor, uno de los más prestigiosos analistas internacionales, desvela por qué ningún gobierno ha podido contener el crecimiento de este comercio ilícito, y lleva al lector a entornos inexplorados que muestran gráficamente las fuerzas tecnológicas, económicas, sociales, culturales y políticas que dan forma a este siglo xxi.

¿Por qué ha aumentado de manera espectacular el comercio ilícito de armas, órganos humanos, drogas, falsificaciones de lujo y personas? ¿Cómo se explica que el vendedor ambulante de imitaciones de Gucci sea tan ilegal como su mercancía? ¿Cómo se conectan las redes de tráfico humano con las de relojes falsos o bufandas de Hermès pirateadas? Escrito con gran pulso narrativo, este ensayo es una obra llena de datos sorprendentes y nombres propios, un panorama mundial casi desconocido que nos permite comprender cómo el incesante aumento del comercio ilícito internacional no solo altera la economía, sino que afecta a los gobiernos y socava las bases mismas de nuestro modo de vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A groundbreaking investigation of how illicit commerce is changing the world by transforming economies, reshaping politics, and capturing governments.

In this fascinating and comprehensive examination of the underside of globalization, Moises Naím illuminates the struggle between traffickers and the hamstrung bureaucracies trying to control them. From illegal migrants to drugs to weapons to laundered money to counterfeit goods, the black market produces enormous profits that are reinvested to create new businesses, enable terrorists, and even to take over governments. 

Naím reveals the inner workings of these amazingly efficient international organizations and shows why it is so hard — and so necessary to contain them. Riveting and deeply informed, Illicit will change how you see the world around you.
