Mercantilism
Drug dealers became billionaires without worry of prison or an early death.
The cashflow of the streets allowed everyone to eat. The influx of drugs allowed people to trade and not have to worry about the cartels and the amount of police presence. It was the essence of mercantilism. Hand to hand became offices with loans to buy anything from crack to fentanyl.
Drug lord Durante Golton had amassed one hundred billion dollars with his network of various corporate offices based on his company Pharmtown. He kept looking at his workers who controlled robots and AI components that gained him even more dollars. He knew what it meant to be the boss.
