Description ▲
The Demon That Occupied Wall Street is a record of the ways in which the art of psycho-rhetoric is used in social sciences and how it affects its students. The author reveals points of view that have never been considered by social thinkers. She explains how misunderstandings, contradictions and inconsistencies disregarded in the social disciplines have created gaps filled by products of theorists’ imaginations. These fantasies have gradually been accepted throughout academia and outside of it, making social imageries the standard reference points. The Occupy Wall Street movement represents the most striking upshot of these tendencies and is therefore advanced as an illustration of how the sphere of ideas affects the actions of those who seldom question the rationale on which these ideas are based.
