Here we present some interesting and informative articles from publications from around the world. These articles do not necessarily represent the views of Occupy Edinburgh General Assembly, but we feel they can be very informative. We have tried to include a variety of publications in order to present a comprehensive picture, however, as you may expect there is a lack of solid reporting occurring in certain publications.
