If you're interested in why the global "war on drugs" is failing so catastrophically, this is the book to read. Wainwright - of The Economist - examines how the cartels' business model compares to that of legitimate business - and how it differs. He argues cogently that only by seeing drugs trafficking in economic terms can we hope to combat it ('Just say no' isn't really enough). Fast moving and accessible, it raised many a wry grunt from me.
