"Outlaw Capital explores the ethnographic case of Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, which is described as the "largest illicit economy in the Western Hemisphere." Jennifer Lee Tucker details the city's transformation from a tiny frontier outpost into a global trading hub and demonstrates the key contradictions of outlaw capital: tens of thousands of poor street vendors and traders depend on the border economy, yet outlaw capital also reproduces stark inequalities and undermines democratic practice. The book explores the politics and power of what Tucker calls outlaw capital, profits made in so-called "black markets.""-- |
