The Occupy Wall Street movement consists of activities who are protesting against social and economic inequality.
People in the movement are concerned that the current laws and financial systems disproportionately favor corporations and the rich and exclude others from sharing in the economic wealth of the nation. They fear that such inequities will eventually undermine democracy and destabilize the country. The Occupy movement is most consistent with which school of thought? Explain your answer.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is consistent with the critical industrial relations school that emphasizes that capitalist institutions do not simply exist but are created by society through its laws and social norms. The CIR argues that the dominant groups in society have the ability to design and control institutions that serve their own interests, to the detriment of others. This is exactly what the Occupy Wall Street movement is currently claiming about the "top 1%."
