In Tunisia, Egypt, Europe, the United States and now even Russia, citizens organize via social media, convene in public spaces and protest policies that fail to protect the public interest. Alarm is building about governments and corporations that mismanage diminishing resources, argues Laurence Brahm, attorney and political economist who spent time with Occupy Wall Street in New York City. In turn, that mismanagement erodes employment opportunities, sustainability, equality, infrastructure, security, weakening media vigilance and basic trust. "Activists across the developing world have come to the realization that standard economic measures overlook key components of well-being and stability," writes Brahm, and these concerns have spread to the developed world as well.
