1. Cf. Saviano's description of the 'Directory': ' is the name magistrates [. . .] gave to the economic, financial, and operative structure of a group of businessmen and family bosses in north Naples. A structure with a purely economic role. The Directory, and not the hit men or firing squads, represents the real power of the organization' (p. 40)

In this case, gangs operating inside the factory steal parts and assemble them into shoes. See Leslie T. Chang, Factory Girls (New York: Spiegel & Grau, 2008), 101.
