Joseph E. Stiglitz, W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.: ''There are moments in history when people all over the world seem to rise up, to say that something is wrong, to ask for change. This is what happened in the tumultuous years 1848 and 1968. Each of these years of upheaval marked the beginning of a new era. The year 2011 may prove to be another such moment.''

After Five Years: Report Card on Crisis Capitalism

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''After five years of crisis ... it s time to evaluate what happened, why and what needs to be done. One key cause of this crisis is the class structure of capitalist enterprises.... By class structure, I mean enterprises' internal organization pitting workers against corporate boards of directors and major shareholders. Those boards seek first to maximize corporate profits and growth. That means maximizing the difference between the value they get from workers' labor and the value of the wages paid to workers.''
