Extract: "The genesis of the Boston Social Forum concept can also be found in the ongoing destruction of the public sphere by corporations in Massachusetts. Following a pattern of structural adjustment laid down by powerful global corporations and financial institutions, the state’s populace has seen severe budget cuts that are compounding the damage already done at the federal level from the mid-1970s on."
