- BuyIllicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy by Moisés Naím
Arrow, 352 pp, £8.99, March 2007, ISBN 978 0 09 948424 0
Moisés Naím identifies a new connection between world economics and world politics: ‘Global criminal activities are transforming the international system.’ This transformation, he argues, requires a wholly new response: biometrics and other new technologies are needed to track perpetrators; fancier security devices will be needed to detect fakes and copies; and governments will have to make bureaucracies more flexible. These, you could say, are alarming developments, and Naím should be congratulated for bringing them so forcibly to public attention. The only problem is to find evidence that any of them is actually true.
