The LRB has a good review of Saviano's celebrated new book on the Camorra:

'The logic of the criminal entrepreneur,' Saviano insists, 'coincides with that of the most aggressive neoliberalism.' These men want maximum power for however brief a time. Nothing else interests them. Winning and losing is the only polarity they know; 'morality is the weakness of the loser.' 'The only thing you learn in this place,' a priest says at a 15-year-old's funeral, 'is how to die.'
