Description

Outlaws have been a part of our culture for 800 years, challenging the power structures and earning their keep by breaking the law. These individuals blur categories, existing in both fact and fiction, opposition and product, culture and economy. Martin Parker explores this counter culture, examining outlaws from various backgrounds, including pirates, smugglers, highwaymen, and those from the Wild West to organized crime groups like the Mafia. This book offers a fresh insight into the lives of these individuals who rebel against traditional forms of economy and organization. A highly readable and entertaining study tool, Alternative Business is suitable for students and lecturers working on organizations, cultural studies, and criminology.
