Protests over Globalization and Economy

Globalization, along with capitalism seems to dominate the global news and are being seen as a catalyst for the current economic condition we find ourselves in. Protests in countries around the globe seem to be a way the common-man is venting his frustration. Just a small list:

• Protest in Thailand: Thai Protests Prevent Asian Summit
• NATO Summit: Violent French, German Protests
• Georgian Opposition Stages a Silent Protest
• Protests Wane in Moldova as Vote Recount Is Announced
• British police suspend officer in protest death inquiry

Protesting is perhaps a way for people to vent their frustration and helplessness but that alone may/may-not lead to any direct outcome
