I remember reading One No, Many Yeses by Paul Kingsnorth, and I loved how the activists he focussed on didn't have one-size-fits-all approaches to big problems around the world.
To be honest, with this article I felt half like he was making interesting points and half like he was saying nothing new. Providing people their basic needs is probably the only real point of contention people would have with what he says - the article doesn't really get very specific. I suppose I should read the book at some point. I just remembered hearing about bread riots in France. How shopkeepers were targeted - because they were making a profit off of people's hunger, which was morally outrageous at a fundamental level. As if it was just wrong to charge high prices for such a basic item as bread that so many depend on.
