Preferred term

legal and illegal economies  

Definition

  • The linkages between legal and illegal economies are often not acknowledged in scholarly and policy discourse. One possible explanation for this oversight is that the label illegal presents unregulated economic activities as immoral, parasitic, and alien to legitimate society.
