How does a revolt come about and what does it leave behind? What impact does it have on those who participate in it and those who simply watch it? Is the Greek revolt of December 2008 confined to the shores of the Mediterranean, or are there lessons to be taken on social action around the globe? Authors from around the world - including those on the ground in Greece - analyse how the revolt became possible, exploring its legacies and the position of the social antagonist movement in the face of the economic crisis and the arrival of the IMO.
