[Andy Blunden]

Yes, it seems to me that the burgeoning inequality created by 
neoliberalism is a situation crying out for imaginative social 
entrepreneurship, i.e., social movement building. It is good to hear 
that the 1/99 protests have generated talk about inequality, but that in 
itself does not create a solution, does it?
