Basically, the mobsters control the "easy" stuff (oil, gas, mining), while the engineers and nerds run the complex stuff (manufacturing) but have no power and are undercut by the mobsters above them. So they're highly vulnerable to boycotts from the outside.
It's pretty long (be sure to expand the "more comments"), but very thought provoking.
Cheers,
