“This book presents an empirically reach, theoretically nuanced and historically grounded account of a highly interesting and novel aspect of crime culture.” • Adam Arvidsson, University of Naples“This is an original, deeply researched, and theoretically sophisticated book. I have never seen another author reveal so effectively the functioning of individualistic neoliberal practices in the interstices of state-mafia-"street," whether in Naples, in Italy, or anywhere else (the parallels the author draws with the U.S. are quite interesting).” • Ivan Kalmar, University of Toronto
