Thanks to cross-border information exchange, we have now realized that the problems of each country are the local consequences of a specific global ideology imposed by the politicians of each country, but which has been devised at a central level by a group of corporate interests and international institutions, including the World Trade Organization, the IMF and the World Bank.

The texts of the book contain the most damning elements that the author managed to gather in order to publicly confront neoliberal economists, but they also record the most moving experiences she had on the streets alongside her activist companions, realizing that they were eyewitnesses to a unique event: the exciting moment when ordinary people were trying to break into the closed club of experts who determine our collective fate.

Provocative, insightful and passionate, "Fences and Windows" is the record of the world-historical beginning of the movement against neoliberalism. The texts are nothing but photographs of dramatic moments in time, a record of the first chapter of the very old and repetitive story of humanity, which struggles to demolish fences in which they try to confine it, to open windows, to breathe deeply, to taste freedom.
