Paul Mason: The New Global Revolutions

In this compelling new book, Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere, Newsnight presenter Paul Mason sets out to explore the causes and consequences of the current wave of revolt, illuminating the links between the economic and social crisis. Mingling with protestors in locations from Westminster to Wisconsin, he reports from the frontlines of protest, arguing that the events of 2011 reflect the expanding power of the individual and a call for new political alternatives.
