Looking for a history of global organized crime
I'm interested in listening to podcasts or audiobooks about the history of organized crime from a global perspective. I'd like to understand these sorts of things:
- The historical processes that led to the development of the major global criminal organizations of the 1900s and 2000s
- Early organized crime—what came before the Mafia? How did early organizations evolve into the later ones?
- The rise and fall of different crime syndicates over the last ~150–200 years
- How other global phenomena—capitalism, colonialism/imperialism, globalization, etc.—have influenced and been influenced by organized crime
- The relationships between criminal organizations and other parts of society—different levels of government, "legitimate" business, religion, community life, etc.
Any recommendations would be welcome!
