Why is a world solidarity financial system necessary?

Résumé :

Ben Quiñones suggests, during the Solidarity Finance Workshop of the 2003 World Social Forum, a reform of the world financial system.

On the following points: general objectives, property right, institutional infrastructures and decision-making, risk sharing, basis of power, the author make a distinction between the traditional financial system and solidarity finance.

Whereas the first is especially beneficial to « big players », the second thanks to solidarity groups or networks, belongs to people who have been excluded from the traditional system.
