The World Stands Up Against Capitalism
Naomi Klein, Author | February 6, 2009
People are sick and tired of having to pay for their governments' mistakes; the time has come for elites to take responsibility. ++ It is customary in crisis times for "extraordinary politics" to enable politicians to adopt unpopular measures and people lose out. ++ Yet, as was the case in Argentina in 2002, the real target of the collective rage is no person but a whole system: capitalism. ++ "It has taken a while, but from Iceland to Latvia, South Korea to Greece, the rest of the world is finally having its ¡Que se vayan todos! moment."
