Just to emphasise how we must engage on the battlefield of ideas with Occupy, there is a review of the new Adbuster book on economics in the Guardian today intended to give content to a Occupy's manifesto.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/05/kalle-lasn-man-inspired-occupyDescribed as an alternative economics book but how alternative is shown by its interviews and essays – Stiglitz and Daly. The use of different concepts, "psychonomics" – economics that takes into account human behaviour – or "bionomics" which bears in mind the cost of environment damage. Different words but not really ideas that have not been discussed and debated before, even within orthodox economics.Many people are attempting to garb Occupy in the lastest fashion of economics…we should be emphasising the classic style of Marx that should adorn Occupy.
