21st Century Revolution

The book is divided into six parts. The first, “Occupy Wall Street and the New Economics,” discusses class divisions in the Occupy movement, as well as examining issues Occupy brought to light regarding our broken banking and monetary system. Part II, “My New Life in New Zealand,” discusses my reasons for emigrating and the political and social features that make my new home uniquely different from the US. Part III, “Capitalism’s Last Gasp,” examines the train wreck global capitalism has imposed on the planet. Part IV, “Psychological Oppression: the Role of Corporate Media,” talks about the role of the mainstream media in shaping the American psyche and preserving the status quo. Part V, “Change Making,” explores how I believe real change is likely to come about, with special emphasis on social class and strategies for reclaiming “the commons." It includes two essays about progressives (such as myself) who oppose gun control. Part VI, “The Endgame,” makes a few predictions about post-capitalist society.
