Is Occupy Wall Street becoming more political? Will the next steps involve more focused political demands? What impact will it have on next year’s election? What is the connection between Occupy Wall Street and the Bank Transfer Day movement?

Robert Reich talks with Keith Olbermann on Countdown about the development of these popular movements and their impact on how we do politics in this country. Reich believes that "people have economic power" that can be used to move those who hold political power.

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
