The story of the young sociologist who studied a Chicago crack-dealing gang from the inside captured the world's attention when it was first described in Freakonomics. Gang Leader for a Day is the fascinating full story of how Sudhir Venkatest managed to gain entree into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment.

A superb excursion into the evolution of the gang scene in Chicago in recent decades! Having read There Are No Children Here by a Chicago Tribune journalist (sorry, name escapes me...) while in grad school, this was an awesome follow-up on how the residents in the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago have coped with the challenges of everyday life and the consequences of well-intentioned policy makers who just don't get it. Highly recommend reading the other book first, then listening to Sudhir's excellent ethnographic research to understand how intricate socio-economic networks have evolved and sustained themselves over time. Very eye-opening and a great read!!
