Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, natural resources are exploited for short-term profits, and good jobs are hard to find.

Politik, Moral und Utopie - "Für den politisch Sensiblen ist Politik überall, sie kriecht quasi durch jede Ritze.

Parece muy sofisticado, pero no se engañen: la mafia es una fábula estúpida sin ningún glamour.

New Yorker journalist Jonathan Blitzer has been covering the immigration crisis at America’s southern border for nearly a decade, but the current emergency is the end of a much larger story. In this, his first book, Blitzer goes back to the beginning: to the shadowy civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala in the 1980s; to the American prison system in the 1990s and the policies of mass deportation that transformed local street criminals into international crime syndicates.
