Resumen del Editor

Award-winning investigative journalist and contributing Wired editor Scott Carney leads listeners on a breathtaking journey through the macabre underworld of the global body bazaar, where organs, bones, and even live people are bought and sold on The Red Market.

As gripping as CSI and as eye-opening as Mary Roach’s Stiff, Carney’s The Red Market sheds a blazing new light on the disturbing, billion-dollar business of trading in human body parts, bodies, and child trafficking, raising issues and exposing corruptions almost too bizarre and shocking to imagine.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“An unforgettable nonfiction thriller, expertly reported….A tremendously revealing and twisted ride, where life and death are now mere cold cash commodities.” (Michael Largo, author of Final Exits)

Desperate people

Crazy to think what people are doing around the world due to their desperation. Those in extreme poverty are selling their organs, dying on blood farms, their children are stolen and sold to first world countries etc. people are not people, they are cash cows….nothing more than a product. Their organs, fluids, or bodily sacrifice is disguised as a good deed but then they are left with little or no money and worse health. The dead cant even rest, they are ripped from the ground and dismembered. We are all products and consumers of the red market. How can we make it better? Very good question.

I took a star off because the narrator will repeat himself. This happened every once in awhile. He might of lost track of where he was and picked up on the recording but the redundancy was slightly annoying but only slightly.

.

There were some strange parts where audio repeated momentarily. Otherwise just wish was it longer.

This book makes think about life and ethics.

The market of human parts !
So difficult to talk and make people think
Not to think only about money is really hard

an important book on an overlooked subject

I have listened to this book because I liked What Doesen't Kill Us. It's totally unrelated except the great journalism, writing style and narration by Scott Carney.
the book deals with some horrifying stuff like organ harvesting and child kidnapping but its stuff more people should know about. It raises interesting questions about ethics and economy.

Another great one by Scott Carney.

Another excellent work by Scott Carney. A detailed insight into the world of human organs and the economics and ethics of human trafficking. Love thr end about cell grown organs and stem cells. I would listen to this book again.

Lots of dupes

Good story and performance, but lots of sloppy editing with duplicated lines. Didn’t anybody check this before they published?
