At European level, the very magnitude of the current transformations means that we must do away with ready-made solutions and rehabilitate the numerous hybrid economic forms considered until now derogatory vis-à-vis the State or the market. One such form is the social and solidary economy: it employs more than 14 million employees throughout the EU and is present in every Member State.
The atypical aspect of the social and solidary economy should not be perceived as a weakness, but as a prerequisite for setting up socio-economic innovations and renewing the democratic public space. It is an essential condition for re-establishing trust in productive and consumption activities. It is also the reflection of a major societal movement, whose pulse beats to the rhythm of digital, energy and demographic change. And it is the guarantee of a genuine policy of economic plurality, built up by citizens to serve their collective future.
Democratisation of the economic sphere is essential to increasing political democracy: such is the practical and theoretical challenge that this special edition of L’Option by Confrontations Europe aims to address.
