La economía popular y solidaria : un modelo para el desarrollo.

Abstract

This research was carried out to analyze the new economic and social currents for the search for better days and conditions of the urban and rural and micro and macroeconomic sectors among which economic models can be considered: social, solidarity, popular and popular and supportive, which apply the conjecture of good living, the economy of the common good, responsible consumption, fair trade, knowledge societies, as alternating and exclusive axes of development. These models are far from the traditional development model that bases their measurement only on GDP-based economic growth (Gross Domestic Product). The purpose of the study is to base the contribution that the popular and solidarity economy can make in the country's development as a viable option where social and human goals prevail as a subject and purpose and not as an object in the local economy. This work is descriptive analytical in nature, due to the search for secondary sources of the characteristics of the popular and solidarity economy as a theoretical framework and its importance in the successful cases of Ecuador and of a qualitative nature for the analysis of indicators in this sector.
