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.

评分两分给原作者，光提出了客观存在的问题，但没有提出任何的解决方案，那本书的价值就非常低了，任何一个发展中国家都会存在这样那样的问题，导致贫穷的原因也是各不相同的，经济发展中出现各种问题也是无法避免的，光是陈述这样的现象意义并不大，如果能在提出存在的问题之后，...

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.
评分依然是Mike Davis 一贯的立场，只是少了些第一手研究，有点杂凑的嫌疑，不过还是好书。
