Solidarity Economy gives forms and substance to people's aspiration for new, alternative economic order that places more value on people, the community and the environment rather than on profit. The stakeholders organize and manage their system of production, exchange of goods and services, finance and consumption on the basis of a community of interest rather than on the vested interest of a few.
