Abstract

Solidarity economies embed economic activities into social relationships that acknowledge natural and social qualities and can push back competitive dynamics when being organized democratically. The development of solidarity economies is a democratic multilevel project, prioritizing gift practices instead of market and exchange. Solidarity economies can survive under market conditions and are able to reproduce their democratic character. They strengthen pro-social and democratic orientations, and play an important role in the ecologization of production. Transformation must comprise state relations and replace the capitalist sector with solidarity economy organizations.
