Zero Hedge/DataTrek Research: The 3 Things Behind Mass Social Unrest In Bolivia, Hong Kong, France, Spain, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, And Elsewhere

WNU Editor: Apparently there are three variables .... urbanization, income inequality, and average age. In short. High urbanization and income inequality coupled with a low average age are the ingredients that is resulting in a great deal of social unrest in the world today.
