Prohibitions and regulatory structures like the FDA are argued to create black markets that the government and intelligence agencies eventually monopolize for profit.

Farrell describes the rise of "subversive teachers" who attempt to preserve Western intellectual traditions within a failing system.

The deep web hosts various illegal services, including the sale of stolen credit card details, fraudulent utility documents, and discounted firearms.
