Social Economy

Social Economy is a generally Center-LibLeft ideology that advocates for the establishment of enterprises such as cooperatives, mutuals, associations, foundations, social enterprises and paritarian institutions, all under a Capitalistic system, as it doesn't necessarily have a revolution as an objective.

Characteristics

Enterprises in a social economy share common values and features:

Primacy of the Individual and the Social objective over capital
Voluntary and open membership
Democratic governance
Combination of interests of members/users and/or the general interest
Defence and application of the principles of solidarity and responsibility
Autonomous management and independence from public authorities, though cross-sector collaboration is common.
Reinvestment of at least most of the profits to carry out sustainable development objectives, services of interest to members or of general interest

Social economy enterprises and organisations have different sizes, ranging from SMEs to large companies and groups that are leaders in their markets and operate in all the economic sectors.
