One problem is that the SSE remains vaguely delineated. Can we sharpen the definition? The SSE is credited by analysts for poverty reduction, provision of essential services at low costs, building of solidarity among participants, and reducing the strains of a competitive capitalist economy. Can SSE fulfill any or all of these important goals.?
Development we can say that as a process to developed all the sectors in economics in any society and nation, it must deal with the economic, social, political, and institutions mechanism, both public and private, necessary to achieve rapid economic growth and large-scale improvement in levels of living and civilization.
However, all these will be ok when we follow the real teaching of Islam or follow the real ethic related to human being with transparent, justice and have to the right people.
So good to hear from you, Peter. I will certainly look up the site you mention. We often struggle with formulations like SSE or 'inclusive development', which have radical import yet are tamed to appeal to funding sources and donors. The approach you suggest does seem to be a more comprehensive one and, as you suggest, far from apocalyptic.
SSE refers to enterprises and organizations (cooperatives, mutual benefit societies, associations, foundations and social enterprises) which produce goods, services and knowledge that meet the needs of the community they serve, through the pursuit of specific social and environmental objectives and the fostering of solidarity.
I propose to analyze the Latin American case. In Costa Rica, for example, the solidarity economy works together with the State; in other countries it may come into conflict with government policies (Argentina, Chile). I am currently directing a book on solidarity economy.
