Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Yes! Magazine This short book is a collection of essays and articles, many of which have been used in other places, about the occupy wall street (in Zuccotti Park) and the 99% movement. It is a motivating and interesting read, but has a US focus that makes it less relevant for UK readers. The history of how the occupation came about are interesting. Rebecca Solnit writes about the hope the occupy movement has created. The presumption in the title that this changes every thing is one that can be argued with, has anything changed? The hope is that economic and environmental changes will spring from this movement. It reminded me that I am becoming an old and occasionally cynical environmentalist; but I really hope the book is right. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Politics.
Nonfiction.
We Are the 99% The Occupy Wall Street movement named the core issue of our time: the overwhelming power of Wall Street and large corporationsâ?? something the political establishment and most media have long ignored. But the movement goes far beyond this critique. This Changes Everything shows how the movement is shifting the way people view themselves and the world, the kind of society they believe is possible, and their own involvement in creating a society that works for the 99% rather than just the 1%. Attempts to pigeonhole this decentralized, fast-evolving movement have led to confusion and misperception. In this volume, the editors of YES! Magazine bring together voices from inside and outside the protests to convey the issues, possibilities, and personalities associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement. This book features contributions from Naomi Klein, David Korten, Rebecca Solnit, Ralph Nader, and others, as well as Occupy activists who were there from the beginning. It offers insights for those actively protesting or expressing support for the movementâ??and for the millions more who sympathize with the goal of a more equitable and democratic future. Since their founding in 1996, YES! Magazine and YesMagazine.org have been showing how powerful ideas fused with practical actions can drive profound change toward a more just, sustainable, and compassionate world. Project Censored calls YES! "the standard for solutions journalism." Democracy Now's Amy Goodman calls YES! a "vital voice of independent journalism." The Utne Independent Press Awards have repeatedly recognized YES! Mag Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
