Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Analyse de l'émergence du marché du crack et des différences socio-économiques par rapport à l'ancien marché de la marijuana, dans la perspective d'une économie post-industrielle, qui engendre des masses de populations non-compétitives, se dirigeant vers des économies parallèles.
ENGLISH :
The differences between rates, volumes, and methods of income generation related to the use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine are elaborated. The contrast raises a question : Do economies like drug distribution follow a particular rhythmic pattern (capital accumulation during the benign marijuana passage followed by capital depletion in the overheated crack era), and how is it related to the changing demands of the regional economy ? Viewed from this perspective, drug distributors and users appear not so much as "devinant" or "alienated" or as a "reserve pool of labor," but rather as a type of labor force which does indispensable work for the whole society.
