| Abstract
|
:
|
"The carnival atmosphere at Zuccoti Parlk in October 2011 was deceptive. The naked woman having her body painted red and the drum circle, like the patently false reports in the main-stream media demonizing the protestors for having sex in their tents and defecating on the sidewalk, were sideshows that distracted the intent observer from the real meaning of the Occupy Wall Street protest, which could only be deciphered by reading the small hand-made signs of the protestors. The city block that encompassed Zuccoti Park was lined with people holding home-made signs, most of which dealt with economic issues. 'Debt is slavery' was a common theme, with special emphasis on student debt. 'F**k unpaid internships' was another. After a while it became apparent that there was focus after all, even if no one could articulate it. This protest was about the conflict between usury and labor. The more things change the more they remain the same. The Occupy Wall Street protestors couldn't articulate their plight because they lacked the moral vocabulary necessary to do so. 'Barren Metal' is an attempt to return the science of economics back to where Adam Smith found it when he wrote the 'Wealth of Nations, ' back to its proper matrix in moral philosophy"--Page 4 of cover.
