While the din of fear and panic over the Bailout legislation drowned out the voice of the American public, we learned this week that acting together, in large numbers, we can get the attention of our Representatives in Congress.

Fresh news, distilled.

The Great Unwind is a call to civic action by and for the layman. A platform for knowledge as a basis for activism, here is documented the rise of neo-conservative ideology and neo-liberal corporatism, the collapse of the housing bubble, the financial panic of 2007-08 and the massive deleveraging of the shadow financial system, within the larger context of social and political upheaval that is forever changing our world.
