The True Story of the World's Fastest Growing Crimewave.
Counterfeiting is one of the fastest growing industries in the world - it is a market worth more than $500 billion, or 7 per cent of the world's trade. In this compelling account, 'Knockoff' exposes the truth behind the fakes and uncovers the shocking consequences of dealing in counterfeit goods. Travelling across the globe, Tim Phillips shows that counterfeiting isn't a victimless crime; it is an illegal global industry undermining the world's economies. Based on interviews with victims, investigators and the people who sell counterfeits, Knockoff reveals the link between what we see as "innocent" fakes and organized crime. This disturbing book will make you squirm in your seat if you've ever purchased counterfeit goods.
