So much violence. The first half of this deep dive into the world of narcos is brutal - detailed story after story of murder and horror. But there is a reason Saviano is such a global star...he knows this territory so well and is a master storyteller and educator on the hugely influential world of drug cartels, buyers and dealers. The biggest insight for me is the fact that pure cocaine sells for about 1000x its original value. Any product that does that without regulation immediately corrupts everyone involved - and leaves a trail of mayhem. Great discussions at RBC. Focus on demand/changing culture of middle class users who fuel this crisis.
