    Preface

    "No, no, no, they dont represent us," is a popular Spanishchant at demonstrations. People have realized that their

    elected politicians do not represent ordinary citizens, but

    someone else. At the time of writing, enormous unregulated

    power lies in the hands of global investment and central

    banks, large corporations, international organizations

    founded by policy and autocratic military regimes. This

    year was marked by global youth uprisings. Early in the

    year, Arabic-speaking nations were shaken by revolutions.Later on, the protests spread especially to the financially

    indebted countries of the European Mediterranean. Protests

    have become global when the dissatisfaction moved to

    North America with the Occupy movement. On 15th

    October, in organized protests, people took to the streets in

    over 82 countries in over 950 cities.

    Reasons for discontent among people and reasons for theemerging protests were quite similar. The main exposed

    topics were: the power of banks, criticism of the capitalist

    system, stock speculations, lack of democracy, poor

    regulations, austerity cuts, corruption of elites, inaccessible

    education, high unemployment, high personal debts,

    environmental problems, an increasing gap between the

    rich and poor, and many others. In military dictatorships,

    people were upset by high prices of basic foodstuffs, lackof public services, self-ignition protests, armed repressions,

    exclusion from decision-making, violating of basic human

    rights and torturing as well as killing of civilians.

    It seems that governments are incapable of solving these

    problems on their own. Therefore, people must take matters

    into their own hands. It is urgent that every citizen becomesan active member of society and gets involved in the

    decision-making process. The world needs new ideas for

    resolving class tensions, modern forms of political

    participation and a new economy that does not exploit

    people. I invite you to listen to the protesters. Suggest a

    change, become a change-maker.
