- Up to 100,000 people died in drug-related violence in Mexico in the last 6 years. We might think this has nothing to do with us, but in fact we are all complicit, says Yale professor Rodrigo Canales in this unflinching talk that turns conventional wisdom about drug cartels on its head. The carnage is not about faceless, ignorant goons mindlessly killing each other but is rather the result of some seriously sophisticated brand management.

Love how he presents! He leaves nice gaps of time for you to swallow what he's saying--many speakers miss this point!
Interesting. I can't believe I'm learning Business Management.
I'm going to anger both sides of the argument here but this is the only solution to the problem. There needs total legalization of drugs with a enormous investment on rehab, education and health help for the users. Basically we need to see drug use as a health issue and we need to attack it as such. The great majority of people who are for legalization are recreational drug users or have been recreational drug users. This people have no problem with drugs and don't understand how bad they can be for a good number of the population of any country. The people against it usually have a moral issue against the drugs but don't understand the problem at all and talk from ignorance. The only people who are really affected and cause all the other problems with this market is the heavy users or addicts. So a huge I'm taking about 3 to 4 percent of GDP investment on eradicating the addicts would bring the problem down and still respect the rights of the citizens. Also it would be a much cheaper solution since treating or preventing addiction would also solve problems with legal drugs. Imagine the cost to government and society that is born from addiction.
Very interesting. While the violent side of the drug industry is highly talked about in the media, rarely do we see the business side of things.
Great talk and explanation of the drug problem. Although Rodrigo Canales only talks about the Mexican aspect of it. The USA, as he mentions is the main market for the drug. He also acknowledges that the policy of drug prohibition by the USA has been a failure. But he does not mention that that drug policy by the USA, is the main reason drugs are such a good business money wise. Rodrigo does not mention all the other economic and financial incentives that the USA's government has created so as to make almost impossible to change the USA's war on drugs.
I've been saying this for years. Amazing.
legalize all drugss!!! Treat addiction as a health problem, not as criminal ones!
There is no Budweiser cartel because their product is legal. At a minimum, Mexico should legalize the transportation of drugs through their country.
Amazing presentation, a must for all those wanting a better comprehension of the drug phenomenon.
I have been waiting for someone, anyone, to address this issue. Thank you so much for at least getting a conversation starting!
"There are many dealers that offer a service where if you send them a text message they guarantee a delivery of the drug in 30 minutes or less." They may say they guarantee a delivery in 30 minutes or less, but if you're getting it from a paisa, whos a runner, and he's delivering it, it's more like 2 hours and they assure you after 30 minutes they're just a block away and will be there in 5 minutes, and 5 minutes when said from a dealer really means like 30 minutes to an hour. Unless you're picking it up from a spot they're already at, you're probably gonna be waiting a while.
I like the gentle way you used the word "accomplices" as a euphemism for "cause", with reference to the US drug consumer market. Like you mentioned, the Mexican drug cartels are operated like businesses. The most important part of any business is their market. If there is no market, there would be no supply, and consequently, no business.
I love how I can't reply, vote up, vote down, or do anything with anyone elses comments now.
It's almost 2019 and this is still one of the best videos on RUclips.
As a leader, this amazes me. As a father, this scares the hell out of me!
This video just made me want to watch breaking bad again.
This is so brilliant. I hope it goes super viral.
Rodrigo Canales:is one of the excellent studies ever conducted about the shadowy drug world. He explains how these drug cartels are behaving like normal companies in terms of brand building and expanding their network. He also accuses us for indirectly supporting by simply keeping quiet. A riveting speech and should be must watch.
Very interesting, thank you having shared this expertise !
Fascinating.
I love that he places responsibility on us.
A good TED talk makes you think.
