GUNS GIRLS GAMBLING GANJA Thailand's illegal economy and public policy by Pasuk Phongpaichit, Sungsidh Piriyarangsan and Nualnoi Treerat

A very hard to find and interesting book on the naughty bits of Thailand written by Thai authors. This is a used book in good, read condition: pages are bright white and clean, some light reading wear and creasing to cover and corners, has probably been read a few times. Some rubbed-out bookseller pencil marks on first page. See photos for cover blurb, sample pages and condition - enjoy!

Blurb: Gambling. prostitution, drugs, arms trading, oil smuggling and trafficking in people - these six businesses are large and getting larger. They distort the economy and victimize people. They are increasingly linked together through networks of protection and organised crime. They help to fund Thailand's corrosive 'money politics' and to sustain corruption in the police. In this sequel to Corruption and Democracy in Thailand, the authors argue that control of the illegal economy, especially through reform of the police, is vital to development of a modern economy and functioning democracy. The authors all teach at the Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University.
