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.

評分如果外星人对地球进行观察,他们也许会发现人类是这颗星球上最奇特的物种。其他群居生物不断增长的种群规模一旦超过某个极限,往往开始分裂,各自占据一块栖息地继续增长。有时,不分群甚至会给种群的生存造成危害。然而人类在最近几百年间呈现的是一个相反的运动态势:他们聚...
評分两分给原作者,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。
评分基本上列數字,不停quote彆人,but a helpful overview
评分最後來瞭一把無政府。夠嗆。 前麵的分析還是挺到位的
