The analysis delves into the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street as manifestations of the structural crisis within US capitalism, particularly focusing on the experiences of the petty bourgeoisie. It contextualizes the Great Recession as a critical moment in this crisis and examines the social classes involved in each protest. Through interviews and discussions with activists, the book reconstructs how their experiences shaped their involvement and responses to the protests, offering insights into the broader social dynamics influencing contemporary US politics.
