This book analyzes the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street as symptoms
of the structural crisis of US capitalism and its class structure.
It shows that the protests have to be understood as rooted in the
petty bourgeoisie's lived experience of crisis, which also plays a
crucial role in current political developments like the successful
presidential campaign of Donald Trump. The book explains the Great
Recession as an acute phase of the structural crisis of the
finance-dominated accumulation regime, identifies the social
classes from which the core-participants of the respective protests
recruited themselves and the socioeconomic developments to which
they were exposed in the years leading up to the protests, and
interprets interviews and group discussions conducted with
activists to reconstruct the habitus that structured both their
experience of the crisis and their resonance with the respective
protest practices. It thereby provides an encompassing
understanding of the social logics not only of these social
movements, but of the current political conjuncture in the US.
