我们的世界正在发生巨大的变化。全球经济危机已经让位于社会危机：腐败和独裁的政治与全球金融精英交织在一起--富人和穷人之间的鸿沟不断扩大。2011年，这种深刻的脱节在我们被告知已被历史抛弃的事件中得到了体现：叛乱和革命。在这本引人注目的新书中，保罗·梅森着手探索这场新的斗争浪潮的原因和后果。从伦敦到开罗，从威斯康星州到德黑兰，他描绘了集体行动的新形式：敏捷的、精通Twitter和Facebook的年轻抗议者网络组成的流动网络，他们了解权力是如何运作的。梅森说，这些事件反映了个人权力的不断扩大，并呼吁以新的方式思考政治选择、精英统治和全球贫困。
Our world is changing dramatically. The global economic crisis has given way to social crisis: corrupt and dictatorial politics enmeshed with a global financial elite - and an ever-widening gulf between the haves and have-nots. In 2011 this profound disconnect found expression in events that we were told had been consigned to history: revolt and revolution. In this compelling new book, Paul Mason sets out to explore the causes and consequences of this new wave of struggle. From London to Cairo, Wisconsin to Tehran, he charts the new forms of collective action: fluid networks of agile, Twitter- and Facebook-savvy networks of youthful protesters who understand how power works. The events, says Mason, reflect the expanding power of the individual and call for new ways of thinking about political alternatives, elite rule and global poverty.
