An uprising against corrupt unfair dictatorial regime swept through the Arab world from Tunisia to Egypt. A battle for a chance to be heard and to be counted. The birth of a world with new possibilities. From the Middle East to North Africa a different battle but the message is strangely similar. Is this an articulation of built up frustration against an empire? Is this an inflection point over catharsis of a people trapped in a crisis not of their own making.
This empire once imagined to be invincible is at the crossroads of free markets and regulation, of profit and greed, of growth and equitable distribution of wealth. Some say this is just another crisis in a capitalist world that will blow over and the world will be back to business as usual. But others caution this may be the start of the end of the market economy as we know it.
