Calvin explain the economy

Great article on the goal of "OWS". I had it all wrong:

So we're not going to coalesce and harden into "demands", but instead continue to nurture a culture of a thousand different demands and recruit people and develop a hegemonic agenda (that we don't have yet!). But the promise of that power and hegemony is grander: democratic control over policy making writ large. Occupy Everything, until we get all our demands and we don't have to make any more.

Another great article on what the OWS is all about:

The problem in a nutshell is this: Inequality in this country has hit a level that has been seen only once in the nation's history, and unemployment has reached a level that has been seen only once since the Great Depression. And, at the same time, corporate profits are at a record high.

With my favourite... graphs! Slide 20 negates some of my arguments in my previous post. Current model actually INHIBITS individual agency!
