Book review: Occupy the future

"Occupy The Future." David B. Grusky, Doug McAdam, Rob Reich, & Debra Satz (eds.) MIT Press. February 2013. --- The Occupy Wall Street movement ignited new questions about the relationship between democracy and equality in the United States. Can we build an open, democratic, and successful movement to realize new ideals? Occupy the Future aims to offer informed and opinionated essays that address questions on democracy, freedom, and capitalism. Much of this book serves as a useful primer for those interested in the rise of inequality in the US, writes Stephanie Spoto.
