I’ve been following the talk (mostly in the US) of so-called “solidarity economy”. This is something i would have called popular economics (or people’s economics) a generation ago. It is grassroots, it is diverse, it is community-based, it is critical of capitalism (though not necessarily that overtly). SolidarityNYC was successful with a Kickstarter campiagn with which they raised funds to produce six video portraits of economic practices that are part of a solidarity economy. Have a look. They’re great. And i’m really thrilled that one of them is about participatory budgeting. I met some of the Community Voices Heard folk in Chicago last month and i was very moved by their work.
