Anders Wirtschaften: Sozial - ökologisch - demokratisch. Solidarische Ökonomie und andere alternative Ansätze
Was ist Solidarische Ökonomie und welches Verständnis von Wirtschaft wird dabei unterstellt? Elisabeth Voß erläutert das Konzept der Solidarischen Ökonomie als ein Konzept des sozial-ökologischen Wirtschaftens und präsentiert weitere, sich teilweise überschneidende Ansätze wie social economy, Commons, Genossenschaften, Gemeinwohlökonomie sowie feministische Ansätzen. Da diese Konzepte eng mit der Praxis verwoben sind, stellt Voß in der zweiten Hälfte des Vortrages viele Beispiele aus den Feldern Arbeitsorganisation, Ernährung, Daseinsvorsorge, Technologie und Wohnen vor.
