While this book will not have the impact of Davis's City of Quartz--a scathing indictment of L.A.'s environmental ravagement, economic disparity and racial divides--in a perfect world, it would. Its subject is nothing less than the creation of what we now call "The Third World," through a complex series of seemingly disparate natural and market-related events beginning in the 1870s. Davis dives into the data and journalism of the period with a vengeance, showing that the seemingly unprecedented droughts across northern Africa, India and China in the 1870s and 1890s are consistent with what we now know to be El Ni¤o's effects, and that it was political and market forces (which are never impersonal, Davis insists), and not a lack of potential stores and transportation, that kept grain from the more than 50 million people who starved to death.

在世界性氣候危機下，為什麼有的國家存活下來，有的卻受到重創？明顯是和「脆弱性」有關，無論是環境的還是社會經濟的。原來向F老師提議讀這本書，老師本能地反對環境決定論，可能是我要重讀並尋求解釋的地方。
