Yes, there are books. Things are happening fast.
Also, check out the Wikipedia page on the occupy wall street movement. When asked why it took three years after the Wall Street bailouts, Adbusters Kalle Lasn said that after the election of President Obama there was a feeling among the young that he would pass laws to regulate the banking system and "take these financial fraudsters and bring them to justice." However, as time passed, "the feeling that he's a bit of a gutless wonder slowly crept in" and they lost their hope that his election would result in change.
In other words, they came to realize Obama turned out to be just another in-the-pocket politician.
