*In Time for Outrage, he called for a new form of "resistance" to the injustices of the modern world.

He expressed outrage at the growing gap between haves and have-nots, as well the untold damage to the environment.

Hessel’s 32-page Time for Outrage (Indignez-vous in French) sold millions of copies in France, tapping into a vein of popular discontent with capitalism and transforming him into a legendry intellectual within weeks. Translated into English, the book became a source of inspiration for the Occupy Wall Street Movement and other subsequent movements.

Evil of Money

In the book, Hessel urges young people to take inspiration from the anti-Nazi resistance to which he once belonged and rally against what he saw as the newest evil: the love of Money.

'The book urges the French, and everyone else, to recapture the wartime spirit of resistance to the Nazis by rejecting the "insolent, selfish" power of money and markets and by defending the social "values of modern democracy".' -- Independent

'Indignez-Vous! is creating the sort of stir in France Emile Zola did in 1898, when he published J'Accuse!' --The National Post

'Like a song you hum or a film you recommend to friends, Indignez-Vous! crystallises the spirit of the time. To buy it is a militant act, a gesture towards community and participation in a collective emotion.' --Libération
