Overview
Mass protest movements in disparate places such as Greece,nbsp;Argentina, and the United States ultimately share an agenda--tonbsp;raise the question of what democracy should mean. These horizontalistnbsp;movements, including Occupy, exercise and claim participatorynbsp;democracy as the ground of revolutionary social change today.
Written by two international activist intellectuals and based on extensivenbsp;interviews with movement participants in Spain, Venezuela,nbsp;Argentina, across the United States, and elsewhere, this book is annbsp;expansive portrait of the assemblies, direct democracy forums, andnbsp;organizational forms championed by the new movements, as wellnbsp;as an analytical history of direct and participatory democracy fromnbsp;ancient Athens to Zuccotti Park. The new movements put forwardnbsp;the idea that liberal democracy is not democratic, nor was it ever.
