ABSTRACT

It is well known that workers living and working around the world face difficulties due to the wave of unemployment and the advance of technologies created and geared towards interests that are anything but collective, under the control of large economic groups whose sole aim is to accumulate capital, strengthen private property and deify the market. This dominant way of life increasingly promotes the exploitation of human beings by other human beings, and exposes alarming rates of people to hunger, worldwide. In turn, it rests on the working class to organize social and productive relationships based on different outlooks among human beings, and between humankind and nature. To this end, the popular solidarity economy1 movement emerges as a path full of potential.
