Only when real middle incomes started to be severely squeezed in 2010 and 2011 did this debate start to gain political traction - and it is not going to melt away.

The Faces of Occupy: Des

In the early hours of 28 February 2012, the bailiffs and the police moved in on the Occupy LSX camp at St Paul's Cathedral. Several small skirmishes and several arrests later, the camp is gone. I was not there - I am not a news photographer - but I do feel a sort of sadness.

I met Elijah a couple of weeks back when I started shooting images at the Occupy LSX camp at St Paul's Cathedral. I was photographing Indigo, his girlfriend as she sat in the entrance of their tent. Elijah was inside, in the shadows, embellishing some of Indigo's answers to my questions, as I took shot after shot of her.

We Can't Ignore Young People's Demands, But Make Demands We Can Act On

When you say, "abolish capitalism", what do you want me to do? Do I take the banks down? That's ridiculous. Do I stop making and selling things? The world would stop turning. Make a demand I can act on.

From the Mexican Highlands to St Paul's

What has united the myriad of occupy movements, so far, has been a critique of rampant privatisation and inequality correlated to a demand for a 'real' democracy. The latter implies that the current model is a fake and expresses the necessity of building something different.

iOccupy: Occupation Records Challenge to the Music Industry

Adam Jung | Posted 14.04.2012 | UK Politics
Adam Jung

The music industry must play a role in improving working conditions under these companies, and they've done it before. 20 years ago most band merchandise - t-shirts, patches, hoodies - was, like most apparel, manufactured in sweatshops in China. Now most bands use fair trade certified suppliers for their merch.

Practice What You Preach? How the G20 Countries Are Failing on Inequality and Environment

Dr Duncan Green | Posted 21.03.2012 | UK
Dr Duncan Green

The world has a new global steering committee, the G20 group of developed and 'emerging' economies, which has committed itself publicly to supporting economic growth that reaches the poorest people, and doesn't destroy the environment in the process. At least, that's the talk, but according to a new survey by Oxfam, the walk isn't happening. That matters because the G20 countries are home to half the world's poor people, and account for a much greater chunk of its ecological footprint. Climate change is just the best-known consequence of such failings. Rising inequality also undermines political stability - ask the Occupy movement.
