Following up on Louis Proyect's piece on Mike Davis and LA, I would
note that in the 1940s there was some basis for a claim of LA being some
sort of "Athens," if at best a rather second rate one. There were two main
sources of this, the academic institutions and Rand Corporation (a 50s

Mostly Davis's book is about interpretation. It is an ecosocialist analysis
of Los Angeles's self-destructive path. This radical interpretation has
pissed off the ruling class and they find it more effective to line up
generation X journalists than the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

I've read both of Davis' big books and a number of his essays including some
of the more obscure stuff. Where ever I go, this side of the Mississippi, I
see a little of what Davis is talking about here and there. It's about

If Davis *did* admit that he fabricated things, I'm extremely
worried. Leftists cannot afford to engage in anything but scrupulous
honesty. Knowingly telling falsehoods simply discredits the work and
causes continual second-guessing.

Hey Walker,
Finally read your piece. If it is true that, in some given
instances, a shorter work-week can increase output per week,

regime where one dude has to work four days and another five for
the same pay?
