This I have to admit: I will always be more impressed with the WTO uprising than Occupy Wall Street. Why? Because WTO had more moral certainty than Occupy. Why? Because WTO happened before and not after an economic crisis, crash, collapse. WTO erupted during a period of American prosperity and economic expansion, and so it doesn't fit at all in Arthur Schlesinger's theory of American history—the crisis generated cycles between conservatism and liberalism. WTO was less a reaction and more a creation.
