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.

评分首先，很惭愧地说，居然九个月没写过书评了。真是无颜见江东父老。这期间也确实好像没读过书，无话可说。工作忙，生活忙，也不知道忙了些什么。很大的一个问题就是花了太多时间在各种屏幕前头，时间都被消耗。就连这本200页的书也拖拖拉拉搞了两个多月才看完。 此书在好两次会...
评分起卡夫卡；至於老上海，它永遠都活在張愛玲的筆下；而巴黎這座光明之城，當然是屬於本雅明的了。在我們的想像裏面，這些城市和那些作家之間的故事簡直要比梁祝還浪漫，生死相許，可歌可泣。 所以今天的遊客去了布拉格一定躲不掉印著卡夫卡頭像的T恤。要是到了上海，有人會不辭...
评分封面背面写的作者简介： ... 以及最新出版的《BUDA的武器：汽车炸弹简史》(BUDA'S WAGON: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CAR BOMB)。 这么写的话,应该排除了校对的责任,是译者的问题了吧? 再看序,是潘纯林的导师王晓路写的. 最后一段： "... 纯琳是我最四川大学指导的博士生... 这...

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。
