In his expanded edition of The Monster at Our Door, activist and author Mike Davis examines the COVID-19 pandemic within the context of previous viral disasters, such as the 1918 influenza outbreak and the avian flu. Through accessible and authoritative language, The Monster Enters explores the scientific and political factors contributing to today’s crisis, highlighting the influence of agribusiness, the fast-food industry, and corrupt governments in creating the ecological conditions for this global pandemic that has significantly disrupted life as we know it.
