This chapter discusses the illicit retail markets and their supply networks which contemporaries classed as ‘black market’. This ‘black market’ received more attention than the ‘grey market’ discussed in the previous chapter, despite being less of a problem.

This ignored the fact that legitimate businesses dominated the traffic in black market goods, with the exception of the trade in stolen and counterfeit goods and coupons.
