Description
Summary:The many-sided contemporary crisis—political, ecological, industrial, neoliberal—has been reviving debates on other ways of conceiving the economy and human organization, questioning the supposed homogeneity of the capitalist mode of production. In the capitalist periphery of the Global South, the current debate has its cultural and political–ideological roots in the modernity–coloniality binomial, as well as in the recognition of the persistence and strengthening of “other economies” based on different modes of economic integration. In this article, we argue that the capitalist and colonial relations established in the Global South impose specific characteristics for the other economies in their peripheral spaces, in particular for social and solidarity economy practices. Thus, we propose a view of the Global South that recognizes its economic systems as marked by economic differences and also constituted by antagonisms and disputes.
