There is, for both the role of the movement of the Solidarity Economy and the interactions afforded by it, believing that this movement is full of conditions, not solve, but alleviate social inequalities and environmental imbalance, through the incorporation of solidarity in conduct of all, from what is called a “eco-social development”.
