Abstract

Solidarity economy can be defined as all production, exchange, savings and consumption activities that contribute to the democratisation of the economy based on the commitments of citizens and focusing on the collective interest and solidarity rather than the search for profit. Various academic publications and works have been devoted to solidarity economy over the last decade, particularly by French-speaking and Latin American authors. Rather than building an abstract theory, their common thread involves using local practices and struggles (the “bubbling up” mentioned by Christine Verschuur in her chapter) and recognising what is already out there, in front of us, but which is overlooked and concealed by the prevailing models (Hart et al., 2011, p. 8).
