Publisher Description Old Gods, New Enigmas is the highly-anticipated book by the bestselling author of City of Quartz and Planet of Slums. Mike Davis spent years working factory jobs and sitting behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler before his profile as one of the worlds leading urbanists emerged with the publication of his sober, if dystopian survey of Los Angeles. Since then, hes developed a reputation not only for his caustic analysis of ecological catastrophe and colonial history, but as a stylist without peer.Old Gods, New Enigmas is Daviss book-length engagement with Karl Marx, marking the 200th anniversary of Marxs birth and exploring Daviss thinking on history, labor, capitalism, and revolution - themes ever present from the early work from this leading radical thinker. This will be his first book on Marxism itself.In a time of ubiquitous disgust with political and economic elites, explores the question of revolutionary agency - what social forces and conditions do we need to transform the current order? - and the situation of the worlds working classes from the US to Europe to China. Even the most preliminary tasks are daunting. A new theory of revolution needs to return to the big issues in classical socialist thought, such as clarifying "proletarian agency", before turning to the urgent questions of our time: global warming, the social and economic gutting of the rustbelt, and the citys demographic eclipse of the countryside. What does the revolution look like after the end of history? Author Biography Mike Davis is the author of several books including City of Quartz, The Monster at Our Door, Budas Wagon and Planet of Slums. He is the recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the Lannan Literary Award. He lives in San Diego.
