Launch text on Real wealth: Evaluation and Indicators

Résumé :

The ambition of the agents of economy of solidarity to be bearers of a new model of development depends on their ability to develop the representations of the economy and of wealth beyond growth and the market. This is a two-fold challenge: on the one hand, to show how the initiatives and networks of the economy of solidarity gain specific collective profits for society and on the other, how they help to create another form of economy. This is why the evaluation of what makes up the wealth of a society is crucial both in terms of the criteria and systems of evaluating the common good (what is the wealth of an area?) and of the indicators of social economics (how to assess it? how to measure it?).
