The Red Market: On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers by Scott Carney
4.0
This book was a wonderful introduction into the world of 'Red Markets', I was hoping for some more dramatic and seedy stories.
There were a lot of difficult stories and ambitious morals, but we were talking about the coercive practices of harvesting kidneys from the destitue and deviststingly poor. What was described as a grey zone.
Not the black market, being kidnapped in a taxi cab and cut open and dumped in front of some hospital or left in a bathtub. The sensationalism is morbid but also enticing to me (terrible but true), would totally recommend, but also, there are so many amazing podcasts on this topic that probe just that much deeper and more graphic.
