The Underground Economy and the Narcodollar: Operation Quetzalcoatl

By Ralph O Nieders

Operation Quetzalcoatl deals with real events and the emerging threat of a growing global Underground Economy that very few have taken seriously. The fall of governments, investments banks and currencies have shown that those in charge of protecting the public welfare have failed. Business schools do not offer courses on the Underground Economy. They do not offer degrees in corruption, money laundering, counterfeiting or assassination, but they are all taught in the Underground Economy, and they all form part of the financial and political equation that impacts and defines the world. Narcodollars have now become a critical component of this thriving and growing economy. From Colombian revolutionaries to Islamic Jihadists, the drug trade is central to their movements and success. They use banks as effectively as they use bombs. They are amassing fortunes that can rival Wall Street hedge funds, fortunes that like nuclear materials can easily be converted into weapons of mass destruction. Governments around the world have failed to take the Underground Economy and Narcodollars seriously, this book shows why they should.
