Reddit reviews Planet of Slums

I think the poorest have always had it pretty shit. Doesn't seem that constructive to say shit from 100,000 ago is worse than shit from 2,000 years ago is worse than shit from 500 years ago is worse than shit from 60 years ago is worse than shit from today.

A great many people live in terrible conditions today and our global economy is only making it worse for them. This is well documented. Perhaps you'd get a kick out of Mike Davis' "Planet of Slums" for a more nuanced description of how terrible our economic system is to the poorest people on the planet.

I did not advocate for feudalism. I advocated for a system that was developed by the first middle class as an alternate to the feudal system that become capitalism. Nor did I say this was the only solution.
