Robert Neuwirth is the author of Shadow Cities: A Billion Squatters, a New Urban World. He has received a research and writing grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, appears nationally and internationally as a speaker and on radio, and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Dwell, Fortune, The Nation, and Wired, among many other publications. He lives in Brooklyn.
When we think of the informal economy, we tend to think of crime: prostitution, gun running, drug trafficking. Stealth of Nations opens up this underground realm, showing how the worldwide informal economy deals mostly in legal products and is, in fact, a ten-trillion-dollar industry, making it the second-largest economy in the world, after that of the United States. Having penetrated this closed world, Robert Neuwirth makes clear that this informal method of transaction dates back as far as humans have existed and traded, that it provides essential services and crucial employment that fill the gaps in formal systems, and that this unregulated market works smoothly and effectively, with its own codes and unwritten rules. Combining a vivid travelogue with a firm grasp on global economic strategy--along with a healthy dose of irreverence and skepticism toward conventional perceptions--Neuwirth gives us an eye-opening account of a world that is operating all around us, hidden in plain sight.--From publisher description.
" Stealth of Nationsis the most exciting shopping trip I??e ever been on. I thought I knew what ??he economy??is, but I had no idea until Neuwirth filled me in." -Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed "After reading this book you will realize that working in an office, a shop, or in a factory, earning a steady salary, paying taxes and having health insurance and a retirement account is an anomaly. Most of the world?? workers operate in the informal sector and in this fascinating book Robert Neuwirth reveals how ??he Stealth Economy??works and what does it take to survive in it." -Mois s Na m, author of Illicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers, and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy "A vibrant picture of a growing sphere of trade that already employs half the workers of the world." - Kirkus Reviews
