The authors explore the notion according to which the continuum of irregular and illegal economies in the city constitutes a bazar. They examine the repercussions of the illegal «underworld» on the legal activities conducted in the city. In the first section, the article offers snapshots of urban markets and cultures related to the illicit drug economies in England and the USA. In the second part, the authors locate these descriptions within the bazar and against the metaphor of the «barricades ». Finally, they demystify the image of illegal economies as alternative and deviant enterprises by identifying the similarities between such economies and the official legal economy
