<p>Malcolm Harris <a href="http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/the-white-market/" target="_self">considers</a> the drug trade as depicted on <em>Breaking Bad</em>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Big Pharma brings in a $250 billion annually in the U.S.  alone, much of it from the same chemical compounds in White’s lab. When  it’s 89 percent pure, it’s illegal meth; when it’s 99 percent pure,  methamphetamine is sold by Lundbeck Inc. under the trademark name  Desoxyn, for &quot;the short-term management of exogenous obesity.&quot; He isn’t  making crank, Walter is manufacturing black-market pharmaceuticals.</p>
