With world economies struggling to recover from the recent financial crisis, a new wave of protests and demonstrations have spread across the globe.

One of these is Occupy Wall Street, and although much has been made of the actions of the police and protesters in New York City, nobody has really tried to answer the question ‘What is Occupy Wall Street?’. Until now.

What is Occupy Wall Street?

Our friends from Online MBA Experts have put together another of their fantastic infographics, which pieces together information from around the globe on the current spate of demonstrations, which hold the separation of politics and finance as their goal.

The ‘What is Occupy Wall Street?’ infographic not only has facts and figures related to the major players in the protests and where they are occurring, but also criticisms and praise of the movement, achievements it has made, and demands that it has on the table.

If you like the infographic then do us a favour by sharing it on Twitter, G+ or Facebook – and spread some knowledge about the demonstrations.
