About this listen
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.
Critic Reviews
“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)
My only criticisms were that there weren’t recommended reliable sources to go to for further information (the author obviously had extensive contacts deemed reliable), also, the use of international ‘voices’ by the author, was at best, poorly done, and at worst, bordering on racist tropes.
Altogether though, I recommend this book highly to anyone wanting to gain an initial understanding of the complexity and injustice around medicine and human bodies as commodities.
