Description
In this provocative, hard-edged work, Oswaldo Zavala and William Savinar challenge the conventional story of drug cartels by questioning how the modern “cartel” narrative is constructed, marketed, and used to shape policy and public perception. Through a high-level examination of the forces behind the drug trade—political incentives, media framing, and institutional interests—the authors argue that what we call cartels may be less a fixed reality than a convenient explanation with far-reaching consequences. The book explores themes of power, misinformation, and the economics of prohibition, urging readers to look beyond slogans and ask who benefits from the status quo. Written in a confrontational, investigative style, it’s designed for readers who want to think critically about the stories governments tell—and the ones they may prefer we don’t scrutinize.
