From their earliest encounters, activist David Graeber recognised that the Occupy Wall Street movement was something extraordinary. What began as a modest demonstration quickly spread across the globe, reaching cities like Cairo, Athens, Barcelona, and London. This movement offered a glimpse into a new way of thinking and acting. The Democracy Project delves into the spirit of the 99%, exploring why the movement was so impactful, what went right, and how we can strive to make our world truly democratic once again. It’s both a compelling treatise on power and protest and an energetic chronicle of contemporary events.
