About Me

- --news from Robert Neuwirth-- I recently (January 2020) signed a contract with Beacon Press for a new book of reportage on the economics of community. I'm also working on a collection of short stories about economics called The Book of Derivatives. Backstory: I've written two previous books: Stealth of Nations (on the global growth of the informal economy) & Shadow Cities (on the global growth of squatter communities). I live in New York City and do most of my writing on manual typewriters.

Robert, have you read Mike Davis's new book, Planet of the Slums? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Is it worth checking out?
Heath: Anything by Mike Davis is worth checking out. He makes his points with ferocity. I'm reading Planet of Slums now and will have more to say on the blog when I've finished it.
sounds good. I'll check it out. look forward to reading your thoughts on it...
