Mike Davis Strikes Again

Some of you surely have come across the latest Mike Davis "shock and awe" campaign that hit the blogosphere. He sets his sights this time on Dubai. I think it is a logical step after Southern California. The TomDispatch entry is perhaps misnamed. It goes "a Paradise Built on Oil." But what it's really all about is indentured servitude: the invisible hands that erect what seem to be impossibly tall skyscrapers.
