Solidarity-Based Productive Chains

The text analyses the conditions required to progressively replace capitalist accumulation relationships and to encourage relationships built on solidarity-based production and consumption: sharing product surpluses, generating new work opportunities, while increasing participants’ consumption and generating a major diversity of products and services in order to guarantee a good life for all those involved in solidarity-based labour and consumption.
