As reported in the New York Times, Oct. 23, 2019, social unrest has flared across the globe in recent weeks, with unexpected protests about “political elites seen as irredeemably corrupt or hopelessly unjust or both. In Chile, the spark was an increase in subway fares. In Lebanon, it was a tax on WhatsApp calls. The government of Saudi Arabia moved against hookah pipes. In India, it was about onions. They followed mass demonstrations in Bolivia, Spain, Iraq and Russia, and before that the Czech Republic, Algeria, Sudan and Kazakhstan in what has been a steady drumbeat of unrest over the past few months.” Is there a connecting link among so many disparate instances of unhappiness?
