Synopsis

Slum Development Patterns explores why informal settlements persist despite urban planning efforts. The book examines the socio-economic and political factors driving slum development, arguing it's a predictable outcome of specific conditions, not a random occurrence. It's crucial for understanding urban poverty, migration patterns, and housing policy, especially in the developing world where rapid urbanization fuels the growth of these settlements. One intriguing insight is how inadequate land tenure security often exacerbates the problem.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework rooted in urban economics and political science to systematically analyzing key drivers like poverty, unemployment, and rural-to-urban migration. It delves into housing policies, evaluating their effectiveness in providing affordable housing and upgrading existing slums, and uses case studies to support its arguments. The book highlights the need for integrated approaches to address the root causes of slum development, emphasizing connections to public health, environmental sustainability, and social justice.

    Capitalism - The Story behind...

    What exactly is capitalism? How has the meaning of capitalism changed over time? And what's at stake in our understanding or misunderstanding of it? In Capitalism, Michael Sonenscher examines the history behind the concept and pieces together the range of subjects bound up with the word. Sonenscher shows that many of our received ideas fail to pick up the work that the idea of capitalism is doing for us, without us even realizing it. 
     
     
     
    "Capitalism" was first coined in France in the early nineteenth century. It began as a fusion of two distinct sets of ideas. The first involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The second involved thinking about the division of labor. Sonenscher shows that thinking about the first has changed radically over time. Funding welfare has been added to funding warfare, bringing many new questions in its wake. Thinking about the second set of ideas has offered far less room for maneuver. The division of labor is still the division of labor and the debates and discussions that it once generated have now been largely forgotten. By exploring what lay behind the earlier distinction before it collapsed and was eroded by the passage of time, Sonenscher shows why the present range of received ideas limits our political options and the types of reform we might wish for.
