With a third of the global urban population already living in Dickensian slums, at least half under the age of twenty, Mike Davis explores the threat of disease, of forced settlement on hazardous terrains, and of state violence on huge populations. He shows also how poverty not only grew massively in the 1990s but how the gap between rich and poor countries expanded and how women and minorities fell further behind. Surveying the new urban poor from Bombay to Cairo, Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro, Mike Davis argues that this enormous population of marginalised labourers is not an industrious beehive of ambitious entrepreneurs but a stagnant ferment of extreme Darwinian competition which threatens to overflow the shanty-towns, and swamp the homes and businesses of the urban rich.

評分如果外星人對地球進行觀察,他們也許會發現人類是這顆星球上最奇特的物種。其他群居生物不斷增長的種群規模一旦超過某個極限,往往開始分裂,各自占據一塊棲息地繼續增長。有時,不分群甚至會給種群的生存造成危害。然而人類在最近幾百年間呈現的是一個相反的運動態勢:他們聚...

Mike Davis is a typical urban-apocalyptic activist and he made a lot of criticism on the place (LA, California, where he is a native). An anti-wealthiness/power socialist, criticized the reformist as most of the reforms are tackling the superficial symptoms rather than the root: inequality. The arguments are too overwhelming for me.
評分基本上列數字,不停quote彆人,but a helpful overview
評分依然是Mike Davis 一貫的立場,隻是少瞭些第一手研究,有點雜湊的嫌疑,不過還是好書。
