A great piece by Beverly Gage, in Slate, on the Occupy Uprising, and what comes next

By Jack Brummet, Occupy Uprising Editor


A great article by Beverly Gage, a Yale history professor, on the Occupy Uprising, and what may be in store in the future, based on the fate of earlier movements that attempted to provoke and force social and economic change.  Thanks to Neil McIlvaine for passing this one along.

"As they sort out what to do next, the Occupiers might take a page from the history of American labor, the only social movement that has ever made a real dent in the nation’s extremes of wealth and poverty."
