Vicious Circles: The Mafia in the Marketplace

by Jonathan Kwitny

Overview

“[Vicious Circles is] eminently readable, indeed fascinating…[A] courageous, brilliant exposé.” —Choice

This of it as a kind of tax. Every time you buy a pizza, or a hamburger, or new clothes, or use a product that has traveled in a truck, the odds are that you are paying a tribute to one of America's crime families. This book shows that the Mafia, and the larger crime syndicate that it dominates, has control over much of what the public regards as legitimate business. And when the Dons dominate the marketplace, they bring murder, arson, and violence with them.
