In 1989, Sudhira Venkatesh - a young, fearless and slightly naive sociologist - was sent to conduct a hundredth in the poorest black chicago ghetto. Armed with a pile of questions like “what do you need to be black and poor?” He goes to a half -abandoned high -rise building, where local gangsters immediately grab him and begin to interrogate him, who decided that he was a Mexican spy. In the morning he is saved by Jay Ti - the young and charismatic leader of the Black Kings gang. “So you will not know anything,” he will say. “Why don"t you talk to people?”
, under the fictitious name Black Kings, most likely, the gangt of the Gangste Disipipls, which controlled in the 90s, is hidden, the circulation of Crak-Kokain throughout the country. The next ten years, Sudhir will spend the next ten years in Roberte-Chums, one of the worst ghetto Chicago, who was completely under the control of two gangs, and will speak with people-gangsters and police, prostitutes and pimps, managers and residents, squlatter and tenants. He will be invited to gangster parties, basketball matches, funeral and to their kitchen. He will witness shootings, beatings, widespread corruption, lawlessness and amazing ability of people to survive in any conditions. He will even get access to the accounting reports of gangsters and the opportunity to vorinate one day with a gang.
His study will completely turn his eyes to urban poverty and earn him the place of the teacher in Harvard, where the Hungarian will make friends with the economist Stephen Levitt, with whom they will devote for a long time to study the gang economy. The article “Why gangsters live with mothers” will be included in the book “Frinity Economy”. Venkatesh independently return to this topic in his book “American Prozect”, and then, many years later, will release this book
