Occupy Wall Street - Against all odds

A movement that has kept everyone in power guessing where it will go or lead to. A leaderless, rudderless, moneyless movement, but letting their strong feelings out to show they have to do something just like how a baby starts crying if he needs to be cared for. A majority of people in the country and now the world seem to join in this silent revolution, of sorts.

As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on."

Continuing my search for clarity to the economic mess we happen to be in and how and when we may get out of all this, I found this brilliant expose based on a very smart Risk Consultant from Australia, Satyajit Das.
