If you've read this book (which you probably haven't) what do you think of it ?

Alternately, would you consider reading this book and comparing it with your present surroundings? I'd love to know what you think.
That sounds like a great book, but you hit the nail right on the head when you said that it didn't relate to our discussion on sales tax. There's nothing in that writeup that helps us understand scale, which is very important here. There is also nothing addressing whether or not illegal immigrants are the driving force behind the black market economy in the US. Plus, we end up right back at the same problem I had with your earlier post: this book is about a single neighborhood in Chicago. Maybe if we both read the book, rather than the synopsis on Amazon, we would find some useful data.
