Gangster States: Organized Crime, Kleptocracy and Political Collapse - International Political Economy Series
K. Hirschfeld
The author draws on behavioral ecology to predict the evolution of organized crime in unregulated systems of exchange and the further development of racketeer economies into unstable kleptocratic states. The result is a new model that explains the expansion and contraction of political-economic complexity in prehistoric and contemporary societies.
