OWS versus Fraudulent instead of Left versus Right?
I am very wary of people who proclaim that they have found the way out of the left-right paradigm (because who guarantees that such supposed centrism doesn’t give rise to nationalism on steroids?). Matt Taibi echoed such sentiments very recently as well in a Rolling Stone article titled “Why Occupy Wall Street Is Bigger Than Left vs. Right”. But the thoughts expressed herein are still worth noting:
Btw, Taibbi has also written extensively about the fraud committed in the banking sector that lead up to the ongoing economic crisis of 2007/2008, and the hows and whys about it not being prosecuted sufficiently. Here are some noteworthy articles in Rolling Stone:
Why Isn’t Wall Street in Jail?
The People vs. Goldman Sachs
Testimony, Goldman-Style; A Tour Through the Levin Report
Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes?
