They woke up and took to the streets... They blocked bridges and closed ports... They camped in the wind, rain, and snow... They faced tear gas, pepper spray, stun grenades, handcuffs, and prisons. The "Occupy" movement is sweeping the world, its messages spreading from street protests to opinion pages, to the highest seats of power in America.

In this book, Noam Chomsky answers pressing questions through conversations and discussions with the movement's supporters: Why are people protesting? How does the 1% affect the 99%? How can money be separated from power? What is the reality of democratic elections? And how can equality be achieved?

The book "Occupy":

• Exposes the American socio-cultural system.
• Explains people's reactions to the war waged against them by the Democratic and Republican parties.
• Calls for a different approach to elections.
• Provides practical points for handling protests in a way that does not endanger the movement.

It is a vital contribution to the literature of defiance and protest, exposing the cruelty and inhumanity of the system.
