More On The Cloward-Piven Strategy: Forcing Political Change Through Orchestrated Crisis

I've written before on the Cloward-Piven Strategy and its use by the Obama administration. It is closely related to more than one of Saul Alinksy's rules of organization for mass power put forward in his book, Rules for Radicals. Several administration initiatives - the clunker program, health care, cap and trade - are swirling about us this summer. With that in mind, I feel it's time for another look at Cloward-Piven and its application to political tactics and strategy coming out of the White House. Any parallels there? You bet.
