From the Ted Talk by Liene Ozoliņa: Why do we blame individuals for economic crises?
Unscramble the Blue Letters
I was studying in London at the time, and I remember the oupccy movement there and how it was spreading from city to city, from Madrid to New York to ldoonn, the 99 percent against the one percent. You know the story. Yet when I arrived in Riga, there were no echoes of the Occupy here. Latvians were just pntutig up with it. They "swallowed the toad," as the local saying goes.
For my droaotcl research, I wanted to study how the state-citizen relationship was changing in Latvia in the post-Soviet era, and I had chosen the unemployment office as my research site. And as I arvierd there in that autumn of 2011, I realized, "I am actually wstiinnseg firsthand how the eftfces of crises are playing out, and how those worst affected by it, people who have lost their jobs, are reacting to it."
