An Arcticle by Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor Emeritus in the MIT Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, published at Outlookindia.com on May 10, 2012

The Occupy movement has been an extremely exciting development. Unprecedented, in fact. There’s never been anything like it that I can think of. If the bonds and associations it has established can be sustained through a long, dark period ahead — because victory won’t come quickly - it could prove a significant moment in American history.

The fact that the Occupy movement is unprecedented is quite appropriate. After all, it’s an unprecedented era and has been so since the 1970s, which marked a major turning point in American history. For centuries, since the country began, it had been a developing society, and not always in very pretty ways. That’s another story, but the general progress was toward wealth, industrialization, development, and hope. There was a pretty constant expectation that it was going to go on like this. That was true even in very dark times.

An Interview with Joseph Stiglitz, professor at Columbia University and a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, published at U.S.News & World Report on September 10, 2006

Not only is the world not flat, but also there is growing inequality around the world, and there is a growing gap between the rich and the poor. The world is becoming less flat as that inequity grows. One way to think about globalization is simply the lowering of transport and communications costs. As we become more interdependent we need to solve together a whole host of problems. If the world is going to do it, we should do so in a way that reflects our fundamental values: democracy, fairness, respect for the individual, concern for the poor.

The second part of Interview with Walter Mignolo, William H. Wannamaker Professor and Director, Center for Global studies and the Humanities, Duke University (Interviewed by Christopher Mattison), published by Hong Kong Advanced Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Studies of City University of Hong Kong on April 19, 2012

...the concept of the communal requires, like many other concepts, to be clearly defined so that it is not confused with and appropriated by what is known as Western ideas of “the common good" or "the common wealth” and of the “commons”: The first is liberal, the second Marxist. The communal is neither liberal nor Marxist, but decolonial. The communal is a way to advance one of the legacies of the Bandung Conference: neither capitalism nor communism, but decoloniality.
