Abstract
The novels of Giorgio Scerbanenco and Massimo Carlotto represent the most selfconscious meditations about the relationship between capitalism and criminality within Italian crime fiction. In the 1960s Scerbanenco pointed at the capitalistic structure of organized crime, whereas in the 1990s Carlotto showed how capitalism had assumed the typical features of the mafia.
