一部揭示19世纪末纽约市贫民窟社会状况与日常生活的摄影集。书名借用了法国作家兼哲学家François Rabelais的名言，他在《Pantagruel》中写道：“世人半数不知另一半人如何度日”（"la moitié du monde ne sait pas comment l'autre vit"）。

……屋子脏甚至门前台阶脏，都意味着社会地位低下。罗伯茨写道：“尽管周围环境肮脏、污垢不断侵袭，大多数人还是尽量把自己拥有的东西收拾得干干净净。有些屋子甚至一尘不染。”或者读读里斯的《How The Other Half Lives》：http://archive.org/details/howotherhalfliv00riisgoog 你甚至能找到关于南方奴隶制的不带偏见的视角（不可否认比路易十四时期的加勒比版本要温和）：http://books.google.com/books/about/A_south_side_view_of_sla...……
…A dirty home or even a front step meant lower social status. Roberts wrote “Most people kept what they possessed clean in spite of squalor and ever-invading dirt. Some houses sparkled.” Or read Riis' How The Other Half Lives: http://archive.org/details/howotherhalfliv00riisgoog You can even find an unbiased view of Southern slavery (admittedly milder than Louis XIV's Caribbean version): http://books.google.com/books/about/A_south_side_view_of_sla...…
……移民数据是1900年的，因为我找不到那一年的数据。你可以（我也确实这么做过）去读读当年的记述，犯罪和衰败程度的差异就会变得更加明显。读读《How the Other Half Lives》，再对比一下《The Corner》或者《Gang leader for a day》。不管怎样，论点依然成立——这些有着大批贫困移民的城市，当年完全没有出现像现在这样底层阶级……
…immigration stat was from 1900, since I couldn't find one from 1900. You can ( and I have) read accounts from the time, and the difference in crime and levels of decay becomes even more apparent. Read How the Other Half Lives and then compare it to The Corner or Gang leader for a day. Either way, the point stands - these cities, with a high proportion of poor immigrants, did not have anything like the underclass problem that…
如果你对纽约市历史或社会改革有一点兴趣，或者只是想提醒自己珍惜当下现代中产的生活条件，《How The Other Half Lives》[0] 绝对非常值得一读。……
How The Other Half Lives [0] really is a worthwhile read, if you're at all interested in the history of NYC or of social reforms, or just want a reminder to be grateful for your own modern middle-class living conditions. The…
……作为一家利益相关者资本主义（stakeholder-capitalist）公司，即便上市了也依然在竞争极度激烈的市场中大获成功。关于 Costco 肯定有很棒的书，但 Acquired 播客的那期节目就是绝佳的入门。* 雅各布·里斯（Jacob Riis）的《How the Other Half Lives》描绘了促成利益相关者资本主义的前置背景。基本上就是工业化把大批民众推入了比以往无休止的……更为赤贫的境地。
…stakeholder-capitalist company succeeding in an ultra competitive market, even while being publicly traded. I'm sure there are phenomenal books on Costco but the Acquired podcast's episode is a fantastic primer. * "How the Other Half Lives" by Jacob Riis is a snapshot of the precursor conditions that led to stakeholder capitalism. Basically industrialization threw huge numbers of people into conditions even more destitute than the perpetual…
……贫困，比如《The Corner》和《Gang Leader for a day》。然后再对比一下20世纪初的记录，比如《The Slums of Baltimore, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia》、《Land of the Dollar》以及《How the other half lives》。绝对会震撼到你。没错，今天的技术好得多，科学认知也丰富得多。我们有青霉素和疫苗。各个收入阶层的婴儿死亡率都更低了。但是帮派暴力……
…poverty, like "The Corner" and "Gang Leader for a day". Then compare it to accounts from the early 1900's such as "The Slums of Baltimore, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia", "Land of the Dollar", and "How the other half lives." It will blow you away. Yes, the technology today is far better and knowledge of science far greater. We have penicillin and vaccinations. Fwer babies die at all income levels. But the gang violence,…
……偏好。这是一栋廉租公寓（tenement），可以说是最糟糕的1900年下东区意义上“活人的仓库”，只是少了一些火灾和卫生风险罢了。这地方适合害虫住，不适合学者住。另见雅各布·里斯1890年的《How the Other Half Lives》。一场公民运动促成了卫生委员会的成立，并通过了1867年的《廉租公寓法》（Tenement-House Act），这是迈向补救性立法的首步。……暗室卧室被废除……
…preference. This is a tenement, a warehouse for living people, in the worst 1900 Lower East Side sense, minus some of the fire and sanitation risk. Suitable for vermin, not scholars. See also Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives, 1890. A citizens’ movement resulted in the organization of a Board of Health and the adoption of the “Tenement-House Act” of 1867, the first step toward remedial legislation. ... The dark bedroom fell…
