The most analogous failure to the impending economic turbulence is the financial crisis of 2008, caused, primarily, by the deregulation of the financial industry.
Activists are continuing the fight but are exhausted, balancing careers and a movement, that, to most, has become a personal battle.

Kevin fought to bring truth every day. We must not lose this struggle.
He wrote about crushing debt, pointless jobs and the negative effects of globalization. And he played a leading role in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
