The "economy of scale" work also to thieves. It is easier to stole in a
centralized government-driven economy than in a decentralized,
market-driven economy.

The best business for Mafia, in Italy, is fixing the Public Contracts.
I think it is not so different in UK or US or anywhere, for the matter.
The name of the group change, but they feed anyway from the public
coffers at the expense of the producers.
