As the Occupy protests that have spread around the world demonstrate, there is growing frustration with capitalism's failure to benefit the many, rather than just a few. Some argue that capitalism as it stands is an unsustainable system that puts huge strain on the environment and prompts crises that profoundly damage our societies. 

- Can capitalism be fixed?
- How can the hopes and expectations of the 99% be fulfilled? 
- Where are our priorities when governments bail out banks but leave citizens to struggle?
