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.

进入21世纪以来，世界各地灾难频频。长久以来，中外都有对“灾难发生，无论是怎样的荣华富贵也一并被转眼吞噬湮灭”的场面的描述，著书者也会说“自然威力一视同仁”。然而当今学者们告诉我们：今非昔比。 迈克·戴维斯的《布满贫民窟的星球》中“贫民窟生态学”一章中介绍了...

評分本书更像是作者列出主题脉络，然后寻找各种材料把它填满。当然佩服作者运用材料的能力，以及研究能力。 另外，全世界贪婪的人都是一样一样的。即使身处不同的文明，但是所有能想象到的贫民窟的真相，全世界都是一样的。 对于我国的叙述，这方面平时没有特别关注研究文献，倒是...

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.
