“The 1000 figures are intended to represent a society that has lost the sense that another world is possible. They show us that it is not stock market news that determines our happiness, but healthy relationships, and that happiness is not defined by what we have, but what we are…”
This is a detailed report and reflection on what happened before, during, and after the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. At the same time, it is a letter addressed to the activists and residents of Buenos Aires, Argentina—where the next summit (protest) will soon take place.
The authors come from Paris and Hamburg; they took part in the protest week together. For the Compas in Buenos Aires, this letter should help to prepare for similar situations—to avoid repeating mistakes and to make the most of the opportunities. Proceeds from the sale of these books will go to support those targeted by repression in Buenos Aires.
