    In his book “Code of the Street: Decency, Violence, and the Moral Life of the Inner City,” Elijah Anderson explores the idea that people turn to the drug trade because they are excluded from the mainstream economy. The shift from manufacturing to technology and globalization have both taken many jobs from working class Americans, and the low economic status, stereotypes, and lack of education keep them from other jobs. All people need some amount of security to survive; those who cannot achieve this safety by legal methods repeatedly turn to the underground economy. Because people in the inner city struggle to work in the mainstream economy, they turn to jobs in the underground economy. HBO’s…
