Summary: On April 17, 2012, the Peterson Institute hosted the release of The Occupy Handbook, a compendium of articles by leading economists and others on the causes and implications of the recent Occupy movements around the country. A number of the book's contributors—including Carmen M. Reinhart, Peterson Institute; Robin Wells; James A. Robinson, Harvard University (coauthor of Why Nations Fail); and John Cassidy, the New Yorker—summarized their commentaries in the volume and took audience questions.
