Jennifer Lee Tucker details the city's transformation from a tiny frontier outpost into a global trading hub and demonstrates the key contradictions of outlaw capital: tens of thousands of poor street vendors and traders depend on the border economy, yet outlaw capital also reproduces stark inequalities and undermines democratic practice. The book explores the politics and power of what Tucker calls outlaw capital, profits made in so-called "black markets.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Moral and ethical aspects $z Ciudad del Este. $z Ciudad del Este. 650 0 $a Informal sector (Economics) $z Ciudad del Este. $z Ciudad del Este. 650 0 $a Community development, Urban $z Ciudad del Este. $z Ciudad del Este. 651 0 $a Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) $x Social conditions. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780820364506 830 0 $a Geographies of justice and social transformation ; $v 59. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205011612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E336B9E7A0E11EE96FE52224AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
