Social economy

Alternative proposal of economic and social transformation

Abstract

The Social Economy is a socioeconomic model that seeks to reverse, in practice, the negative effects that neoliberalism has generated in society. It is, above all, a commitment to a lifestyle that transforms citizens because it engages them with themselves, with the economic entities to which they belong, with their partners, with their neighbors, with the territory, and with the common house; this is thanks to the reconceptualization of production, distribution, marketing, and consumption. But how is the social economy defined? In what economic entities does it manifest itself? Why do the people who integrate it choose a system of humanist, cooperative and solidarity life? How does Ibero Puebla contribute to the creation of entities of social economy? What does a territory where social economy manifests itself look like? These questions are answered throughout this work.
