The New Yorker has just published a lengthy article on the early formation and leadership of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Entitled Pre-Occupied - The origins and future of Occupy Wall Street by Mattathias Schwartz. It's 13 pages, well written and fascinating. Well worth a read in its entirety here

What struck me was a collective impression of the leaders of the movement. I would probably personally like all of them. As a group, they would certainly make for a fascinating guest list for a dinner party!

However, I can also see how anybody with a desire to oppose progressive/populist values could easily have spun their reporting to make this group appear disturbing and perhaps subversive to middle-America.

More after the orange flourish......
