The renowned activist and author Mike Davis issued a dire warning in his book, The Monster at Our Door, about the impending threat of global viral catastrophes. In this expanded edition of his 2005 work, Davis delves deeper into the issues he foresaw, shedding light on how the problems he cautioned about persist. He also places the COVID-19 pandemic within the broader context of previous disastrous outbreaks, such as the 1918 influenza pandemic that claimed the lives of at least forty million people in just three months and the Avian flu outbreak over a decade and a half ago.
The Monster Enters is a comprehensive and accessible examination of the scientific and political factors that have contributed to the current viral apocalypse. Through its insightful analysis, the book exposes the crucial roles played by agribusiness and the fast-food industries, aided by corrupt governments and a capitalist global system that has lost its way. It highlights how these entities have created the ecological conditions that have paved the way for a plague that has brought human existence to a screeching halt.
This expanded edition of The Monster at Our Door is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics that have led to the current global crisis. It provides a clear and concise account of the events that have shaped our world, and it offers a roadmap for navigating the challenges that lie ahead. By shedding light on the underlying causes of the viral apocalypse, Davis empowers readers to take action and work towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
