toute la Campanie. Une organisation moins connue que la mafia sicilienne mais bien plus dangereuse, car la mafia se pose comme un 'contre-État', a un code d'honneur et respecte certaines règles, alors que la Camorra est une forme 'd'entreprenariat' criminel dont le seul but est de maximiser ses profits, ses membres étant prêts à tout pour atteindre cet objectif. Elle constitue pour l'auteur l'avant-garde de l'économie mondialisée, dont elle pousse les mécanismes jusqu'à leurs conséquences les plus extrêmes. Les rapports avec la Chine et le rôle du port de Naples, l'importance du textile en Italie et au-delà, le trafic d'armes et de drogue, les activités de construction et l'immobilier. Passant en revue tous ces dossiers, Saviano présente des faits, des chiffres et des éléments concrets sur la portée de la criminalité au sein du 'Système', le véritable nom de la Camorra. 2007.By Dick Lehr, Gerard O'Neill. 2013
