Abstract

This article proposes a comparative analysis of the three concepts: circular economy, social economy, green economy. Starting from the fact that they have as common objective the harmonization of economic, social and environmental objectives, the analysis I propose is made in order to capture the differences and similarities of diversity in and between such concepts. Also, the article makes a critical comparison of the potential and limits of the three concepts. Based on what is analyzed, a hierarchy is made, which can serve to better implement the policies.
