ARGENTINA:
Building a Solidarity Economy
A
solidarity economy is being
built by thousands of workers in
Argentina, in rural
cooperatives, worker-run
factories and small businesses
linked by networks.
Now trade unions, universities
and social, political and
student organisations are
calling on the various
initiatives in the solidarity or
social economy to come together
to debate projects that would
build on past experiences, as an
alternative to the prevailing
economic model that they say
marginalises large sectors of
the population.
In Argentina, there are many
examples of organisations
involved in economic activities
whose chief aim is not
maximising profits, and which
have horizontal structures and
are run in a democratic,
participatory manner.
In fact, such examples ”have
existed in the country for over
100 years,” states a report by
the Central de Trabajadores
Argentinos (CTA) central trade
union. more
