Mr Arlacchi makes us angry, and then forces us to think.
New York Times Book Review
<i>Mafia Business</i> is already regarded by Italian lawyers, historians, journalists and economists as the classic text on <i>la nouva Mafia</i> - the multinational criminal network which the phenomenon has become in recent years.
The Listener
One of the most important works on the Italian Mafia, this is <i>must</i> reading for any student of the subject ... Detailed examination using trial data, various Italian government reports and documents, as well as interview material, makes this book extremely valuable to the student of organized crime; it also contains an excellent analysis of Mafia culture and values.
Choice
This book should be widely read ... Readers who know nothing about the traditional mafias out of which the new and murderous entrepreneurs have emerged, will find an excellent survey here of the state of research.
- Eric Hobsbawm, Times Literary Supplement
Pino Arlacchi has written the best account of how the new mafia came into being ... it explains, as no other book has done, how the members of the new mafia came to be ostentatious, educated and international people, moving in the glittering society of Rome and Milan.
