Is the Occupy movement growing up? “In the months since Occupy Wall Street pitched its first tents last September, one criticism of the movement has been that it does not offer much in the way of solutions. Enter Occupy the SEC, an Occupy offshoot made up of activists and veterans of the financial sector. Instead of taking the public stand of OWS, they’re using a different tactic: They’ve written a detailed 325-page analysis of the Volcker rule. And, in my view, they’ve got it exactly right.” —Jared Bernstein, “Former Obama Official: Why I Applaud ‘Occupy the SEC’ “ Photo courtesy of The Guardian.
