In this paper, first the direct role of the banks, financial and
credit institutions and the US stock markets in creating the
crisis would be analyzed which was famous as the “Occupy
Wall Street movement” by the sudden expanding of recession,
unemployment and poverty underlying the emergence of people
protests; then the reactions, not only passive but in American
public opinion biased and supportive of the US politicians (both
Republicans and Democrats), relative to the known agents of
this crisis will be discussed from political economic perspective.
Regarding the characteristics of organizing and managing this
movement and controlling it continuously by the industrial
countries’ police, the fragile political status of the “Occupy
Wall Street movement” in the western democracy claiming
countries will be analyzed and studied at the end of this paper,
though this social movement enjoys deep economic roots.
