Europe is in turmoil. Across the continent, people are protesting against a policy that exacerbates poverty and inequality while disregarding democracy. They demand a different response to the crisis, a social Europe, and resist the arrogance of power. But can these protests achieve more than just expressing outrage and anger in the streets? Will they succeed in bringing about social change - possibly even at a European level? A beginning has already been made. Unexpected alliances between generations are being forged, and corrupt politicians are being forced to vacate their seats. Experiments in solidarity-based economies are emerging, and networks are testing European cooperation. The book delves into the success of these movements and initiatives. It reveals who is behind the protests and why, highlighting experiences from numerous European countries, from Iceland onward.
