What are they about then? Is there more democracy? No. Are there more freedoms? No. Is there less money? Yes. What's this movement about? People are losing jobs, the lower-socio economic groups are the first to feel this. Students are among them, and they are also the most 'active' (in activist sense), and thus we hear about it. If the world was flush with cash and countries were all in massive surplus, would we still have these protests? I don't think we would.
