Thanks to cross-border information exchange, we have now realized that the problems of each country are the local effects of a specific global ideology, imposed by the politicians of each country but originated 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 evidence that the author was able to gather to publicly confront neoliberal economists, but they also record the most touching experiences she lived on the streets alongside fellow activists, realizing that they were eyewitnesses of a unique event: the exhilarating moment when ordinary everyday people attempted to invade the closed club of experts where our collective fate is determined.

Challenging, insightful, and passionate, Fences and Windows serves as the record of the historic beginning of the anti-neoliberal movement. The texts are nothing but snapshots of dramatic moments through time, a chronicling of the first chapter of the very old and recurring story of humanity striving to tear down the fences within which it is attempted to confine it, to open windows, to breathe deeply, to taste freedom.
