Examining Social Justice Movements

This chapter discusses the differences and similarities between the Occupy Wall Street movement and modern social justice movements like Me Too and Black Lives Matter. It critiques how Occupy's affluent base hindered its reach and effectiveness, while also addressing the role of public opinion and the influence of elites in shaping policy. The conversation culminates in a debate about the complexities of activism, income inequality, and the need for practical solutions to foster genuine social change.
