About the Solutions

Overview

However, the idea of a Solidarity Economy and the
cooperative movement generally challenges this logic and proposes an alternative. Instead, the
idea and logic is that cooperation can help us to strengthen the organizations and projects
although it is important and necessary to design appropriate structures and dynamics to help this
unfold.

Design of structures for intercooperation at different levels:
­ Reproductive Cooperation: are the dynamics of support that require us to share resources
that have a finite form.
­ Productive cooperation: such as promoting productive projects, developing new product
lines or services that incorporate the knowledge and skills of different organisations.
­ Representative Cooperation: this is the dynamics of participation that encourage
organisations to support each other through representation in networks or platforms.
­ Cooperation in productive innovation: development of networks of production, distribution
and consumption of goods or services such as the social market
­ Financial cooperation: structures that facilitate access to credit between neighboring
entities within the same association or group.

The challenge

Our socio­economic system revels in a logic of competitiveness. It instills in us a deep seated
belief of “win­lose” and the prevailing economic system leads us to think that we have to compete
and be better than other people or companies. This idea that if other people “win” then I “lose” is a
belief that is deeply entrenched in us.
