"We are the 99%" is the rallying cry of millions of people involved
in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. This is the first book to
pull together in once place detailed information about the 1% and
the 99% in all realms of society, the causes and consequences of
this deep inequality, and what can be done about it. The focus of
the worldwide "Occupy" protests is creating a world that works for
99% of people and businesses, not just the richest and most
powerful 1%. But who are the 99%? Who are the 1%? How extensive and
systemic is inequality in different areas of society? What are its
causes and consequence? How is inequality changing in our world?
And what can be done about it? For many years Chuck Collins has
been a top leader in studying, speaking about, and writing about
these questions. In this book he brings together in one place, for
the first time, information that has been widely scattered in many
different articles, reports, and websites. He provides revealing
and powerful information about inequality in all realms of today's
world, including individual wealth and power, corporate wealth and
power, media control, political influence, and other areas. He then
describes the functioning of the "Wall Street Inequality Machine"
and describes how inequality wrecks everything we care about. And
he tells how people and groups are pushing back against inequality
and taking action to reduce inequality and create a world that
works for the many and not just the few.
