2 days ofsubversive ideasFrom the British state to Europe, the financial system to the Middle East & the climate, the old order is in crisis. Establishment politics is broken. Racism, xenophobia & the right are on the rise. But so too is the alternative. From Greece to Ferguson, from the anti-war movement to the fight against cuts, the 99% is fighting back.
