A Question on the Occupy Wall Street Movement

This is a remarkable moment. That people in so many American cities have taken to the streets at once may be unprecedented.

The central criticism of the movement so far has been that it is pointless -- that there is no agenda. And that may be.

But I wonder what effect it is having. Who is being pressured by the camps and occupations? Whose interests are affected? For me the issue is not about an agenda, but a target.

I plan to have my Dissent class work on this next week.
