City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles

by Mike Davis

4.0

About the book

The hidden story of L.A. Mike Davis shows us where the city's money comes from and who controls it while also exposing the brutal ongoing struggle between L.A.'s haves and have-nots.

Thematically sprawling, thought-provoking (often outraging - against forms of oppression built into urban space, police brutality, racist violence, and the Man), and at times oddly entertaining.
